The invention relates to a method for breeding fry of scaphesthes macrolepis, which mainly comprises the following steps: transferring fry which have floated up for 2 to 3 days into a culture pond, wherein the fry density is kept between 4,000 to 6,000/m<2>; feeding each day; when the weight of the fry reaches 0.2 gram, feeding in different ponds each day, wherein the feeding density is reduced to 2,000 to 3,000/m<2>; and when the weight of the fry reaches 2 grams, feeding in different ponds every day till the fry mature, wherein the feeding density is reduced to 1,000/m<2>. The method disclosed by the invention has the advantages of high fry survival rate, simple fry breeding technical operation, great simplification of breeding process and easy implementation.
