The effect of three herbal treated fishes on protein, carbohydrate and lipid composition of Cyprinus carpio were studied. Three herbal formulated diets (Withania somnifera (Ws) Mucuna pruriens (Mp) and Asparagus racemosus (Ar)) at four different concentrations, in three size groups of C.carpio showed a significant increase in protein, carbohydrate and lipid. The proximate composition of three different herbal formulated diets fed fishes with three size groups was compared. The protein content was maximum in size group A of Asparagus racemosus diet fed fishes. The maximum carbohydrate content was observed in size group B of Withania somnifera diet fed fishes and maximum lipid content was reported in size group C of Mucuna pruriens diet fed fishes.
