The invention discloses a breeding method of barbus capito. The method comprises the following steps that A, a breeding pond is built and divided into the three breeding areas including the fry area,the small fish area and the large fish area through two fishing nets; B, fry are bred in the fry area, and fry feed is added to the fry area; C, the water temperature of the breeding pond is controlled, oxygen dissolution is conducted, feeding is conducted three times every day, the fish school is driven at regular time, the mobility of the fish school is improved, and the density of the fish school is controlled; D, harvesting is conducted when the weight of each fish reaches 650-750 g. By adopting the method, by enlarging the activity range and improving the physique of the fry, the survivalrate is guaranteed, by driving the fish school at regular time, the uniformity of the fish school in all the breeding areas is improved, the reasonable feed adding means is beneficial to dispersion of the fish school, most fry identical in specification can be gathered in any area through partition breeding, the feeding concentricity is guaranteed, and the feeding effect is improved.
