    I’m not sure the pot is big enough for fish. Usually small fish need at least a two gallon tank or area to swim in even if their small

    I wouldn't recommend... feeder fish will get big and need appropriate space

    To actually answer your question, Yes. With adequate space for the fish the plant and fish will live in symbiosis. Fish excrement is a wonderful fertilizer as is most. 😄 Things to consider, the filter you use on your fish tank cannot be too powerful, it’s a happy medium between cleaning out too much and the plant not getting enough nutrients, and a filter that is simply not filtering enough causing harm to the fish. I won’t blow steam up your pipe and say it’s an easy venture, however for someone that has the drive and passion to bring their design into reality this is 100% achievable, and it will reduce the amount of fertilizing 😂 Best of luck on your adventure, Happy Planting!

    No, no matter what don’t put fish in there! It’s fish abuse

    You could if you get a big enough fish tank! As the roots would love the amount goldfish poop but you would need to do your research to look after fish, in the future when it grows you would need a bigger tank depending on the amount of fish you put in there.

    Absolutely recommend. The plants love the fish waste, and remove the nitrates and help keep the tank healthy. The general rule of thumb is 1 gallon of water per 1” of fish. That would be a minimum. I’ve started using my aquarium as my propagation tank with very good results. The aeration, nutrients, light, and humidity help grow healthy roots very fast.

      So if I get a two gallon fish tank and put one to two fish in it could they live without a filter because I live in. A house were I can’t use a filter what fish would you recommend

      For your setup, if you can’t use a filter, (can you tell me why?) I’d recommend a 2-3 gallon tank with a single male Betta. Goldfish tend to get too big and make too much waste. All other small fish tend to be community fish. Another option is to get an air pump to provide oxygen, which will also be good for the roots. Then you could maybe get shrimp instead. They’re fun to watch.

      The reason for not being able to get a filter is because of expense wise for electricity costs I live with my family and they said I can’t get any fish because of having to run a filter so I thought it might be possible to get a fish that does not need one

      In that case, it’s probably best not to add anything to the bowl. Change the water in the bowl once a week and enjoy watching the roots and your plant thrive!

      Get a manual filter pump, they come in all shapes and various sizes and functions. Some operate like a bike pump, others you rotate a handle like one side of a bike, either way the rotary hand crank ones are easier and use 0 electricity, you can cycle the water your self fairly easily. HOWEVER, I would recommend a cheap and tiny solar pump, attached to a filter. If you build it yourself it can be extremely cheap. If you want something prebuilt you can find prices that aren’t ridiculous but shop around and do consider that a filter can still be utilized in other means, good luck 👍 Happy Planting 🪴
