Aquafeeds with optimum digestible starch levels provide nutritional, economic, and environmental benefits in aquaculture. Tinfoil barb juveniles can optimally utilize 19.25% dietary corn starch, but their ability to use commonly available starch sources has not been explored. This study aimed to com...
