The highest weight gained in treatment 3 g of inulin, which was not significantly different from treatment 2 g of prebiotic dietary (P>0.05). The highest specific growth rate was measured in 2 and 3 g inulin. The highest feed conversion ratio and the highest protein efficiency ratio were belonged to control and 3 g inulin respectively. The maximum and minimum numbers of white blood cells and red blood cells were observed in 3 and 1 g of inulin, respectively. The highest amounts of hemoglobin and hematocrit belonged to the treatment 3 g of inulin. As a result, inulin can be effective in improving growth performance and hematological parameters in the amounts of 2 and 3 g per kilogram of diet in prisoner cichlid.
