A comparative study was made to select the most suitable biofilter from 7 types of commercial water filters by rearing hybrid catfish (Clarias macrocephalus x C. gariepinus) in aquaria for 64 days. It was found that diminishing concentrations of ammonia and nitrite were attributed mainly to nitrifying bacteria that convert ammonia into nitrite and nitrate which required a minimum period of 16-28 days for the process to function. Low absorption of ammonia was achieved through using activated carbon

coconut shell charcoal

zeolite and ceramic. Durability and filtering efficiency of the filters depended upon porosity and amount of biofilm on the filter surface. The filter using one coarse meshed plastic sheet and 37 bioballs was the most suitable

though it caused a problem with low total alkalinity resulting in mortality of the biofilm which peeled off

thus increasing the concentrations of ammonia

nitrite and suspended solids toward the end of the experimental period. The catfish growth rate

survival and FCR in all treatments were in the ranges of 7.39-8.91 g/d

84.44-95.56% and 0.21-0.25

respectively.
