Two experiments were carried out with Nile tilapia O.niloticus fingerlings. The first experiment was designed to evaluate the influence of seven levels dietary D-glucose (0,4,8,12,16,20 and 24%) on the performance, digestibility and metabolic parameter for O.niloticus fingerlings of 19,99 gm ± 0.21. The second experiment was including four-carbohydrate source glucose, maltose, sucrose and starch for O.niloticus fingerlings of 20.08 gm ± 0.59 to study its effect on performance, digestibility and metabolic parameter. Each of diets was fed to triplicate groups of O.niloticus for 8 weeks.
