PENGARUH PENAMBAHAN EKSTRAK TEPUNG TOMAT (Solanum lycopersicum) TERHADAP PERFORMA WARNA IKAN NEON TETRA (Paracheirodon innesi)
MAYA HERLINA. 2026. The Effect of Adding Flour Tomato Extract (Solanum lycopersicum) on the Color Performance of Neon Tetra Fish (Paracheirodon innesi), under the guidance of Saifullah and Muh. Herjayanto. Neon tetra fish (Paracheirodon innesi) are unique in that they have beautiful bodies with red and shiny blue stripes and move in schools. The brightness of the fish's color is an important factor to consider. This is because the brighter the color of the fish, the higher its price will be. Tomatoes are a food source with the potential to be used as a source of red carotenoid pigments. The type of carotenoid compound in tomatoes is lycopene, which is the pigment that causes the red color. Lycopene is often referred to as α-carotene, a bright red carotenoid pigment found in tomatoes and other red fruits. This study aims to evaluate the effect of adding tomato extract at different doses in feed on the color quality of neon tetra fish (Paracheirodon innesi). The benefit of this study is to provide scientific information on tomato extract as a feed additive for color brightness in neon tetra fish (Paracheirodon innesi). This study was conducted from July to September 2024. The fish were kept at the Aquaculture Laboratory, Fisheries Science Study Program, Faculty of Agriculture, Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University. The research method used was experimental. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD). This study used 4 treatments of tomato powder extract addition in feed with 3 replicates each, namely P0 (control), P1 (ml/kg), P2 (30 ml/kg), P3 (60 ml/kg). Based on the results of color quality observations using a Toca Color Finder (TCF), the results showed no significant effect (P>0.05). The final total carotenoid content in tomato flour extract was 1037.54/50g. Based on color diversity observations using Adobe Photoshop CS6, there was a significant effect (P<0.05) on visual color diversity at the base of the tail. Observations showed that the addition of tomato flour extract in feed had a significant effect (P<0.05) and influenced the number of chromatophore cells. The highest treatment was found in treatment 2 with an average value of 82 ± 27.3 cells, while the lowest treatment was found in treatment 0 with an average value of 22 ± 7.3 cells. Water quality values during maintenance, at a temperature of 26.30–28.60 °C, pH 7.81–8.48, and DO 6.3–6.9 mg/L. Keywords: Ornamental fish, Tomato flour extract, Red colour pigmen
