๐๐ฟ Why add plants to your fish farming system?
Plants do more than make a tank look beautiful. Managed properly, they can help put nutrients from fish waste to good use! ๐ง
โ
Absorb excess nutrients:
Growing plants take up nutrients from the water, supporting water quality management.
โ
Provide supplementary food:
Duckweed can supplement tilapia feed, but should not replace a balanced diet.
โ
Grow another crop:
A connected aquaponic grow bed lets you produce vegetables alongside your fish! ๐ฅฌ
๐ฑ Examples to consider:
โข Duckweed in a controlled growing area.
โข Lettuce, basil and water spinach in connected aquaponic beds.
