The treatments are A (Control, without hormone), B (with HCG dosage of  250 IU), C (with HCG dosage of  500 IU), and D (with HCG dosage of  750 IU). The development of egg diameter, the success of spawning, fecundity, fertilization rate, and water quality (chemical and physical) have been evaluated. The results of research showed that treatment C gives the best results for the egg maturation of hard-lipped barb. Key words: Hard-lipped barb, HCG, the maturity of egg, fecundity
