Background: The surprising cost of fish feeds is a problem in the development of Genetically Improved Tilapia caused by the protein from the expensive fish feed. The study's goal is to find a low-cost alternative to fish feed. The study used formulated sweet potato granules and commercial feeds to identify Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) growth and survival rates in the HAPA as the foundation for the development of a Technology Guide. Peelings and leftover materials are among the cheapest nutrient sources that can help to reduce the high cost of fish feed. The experiment method was used in the study. The findings revealed that the three formulated feeds have less protein (20.33, 19.3 and 19.6) but more fat (24.1, 15.69, and 10.72) than the commercial feed (24.1 percent , 3 percent ). T1 had the highest initial and final weight in grams, length in centimeters, and width in centimeters, followed by T2 and T3. It was the use of T1 that proved to be an efficient feed. Conclusion: Sweet potato peelings (Boniatos) and remaining mackerel scad fish bones (Decapterus macarellus) that are not consumed by humans should be developed for use in feed formulation. The ingredients used in feed formulations are a possible replacement for fish feed, and the advancement of its use is commendable.
