Abstract The study evaluated effects of dietary administration of Bacillus spp., either single or in combination, on growth performance, immune response and disease resistance in rohu, Labeo rohita (Hamilton) fingerlings. The fish were fed for 60 days with control diet (without probiotics) or diets supplemented with 1 × 107 cells g−1 of B. methylotrophicus (E1), B. amyloliquefaciens (E2), B. licheniformis (E3), B. methylotrophicus + B. amyloliquefaciens (E4), B. methylotrophicus + B. licheniformis (E5) and B. amyloliquefaciens + B. licheniformis (E6). Results indicated that combination of B. methylotrophicus and B. licheniformis (E5) produced significant (P
