Ingredients rich in carotenoids are Carrots (Daucus carrota L.). Carrots are a type of root vegetable that has a shape resembling wood and comes in orange or white color. The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of adding carrot powder to commercial feed and to find the optimal dosage added to commercial feed to enhance the color brightness of clownfish (Premnas biaculeatus). This study was conducted from January to February 2023 at the Marine Aquaculture Research Center in Batam. The research method used was experimental, specifically employing a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 3 replications, namely Control (without the addition of carrot powder), Treatment A (addition of 5% carrot powder), Treatment B (addition of 10% carrot powder), Treatment C (addition of 15% carrot powder), Treatment D (addition of 20% carrot powder), and Treatment E (addition of 25% carrot powder). The changes in red body color showed the best results in Treatment D (Addition of 20% carrot powder) with values of R (-15.9±7.9), G (-17.8±7.2), and B (-12.3±2.9).
