A fish garden uses aquaponics! This system uses fish poop to provide organic food for the plants, and the plants naturally filter and clean the water for the fish.
Aquaponics is a mix of aquaculture (raising fish) and hydroponics (growing plants in water) in a neat and closed-loop ecosystem. The magic of aquaponics comes down to the utilization of the nitrogen cycle. In large scale systems, aquaponics can be used as a sustainble way of growing large amounts of both game fish and produce. Uses less resoucres than tradional growing methods, like land and water.
A fish garden brings learning to life! Through hands-on activities with aquaponics, your child will explore science in a fun, memorable, and practical way. They'll also build important communication and collaboration skills by working with others. Each child gets a personalized experience by designing and caring for their own ecosystem, which fosters creativity and independence. Most importantly, they’ll develop a deeper connection to nature and a greater appreciation for how living systems work together.
There are many plants you can use with your fish garden, like basic house plants and herbs. Please reference our plant guide to help select your first plant.
Ornamentle fish are the way to go! You can find a wide selection of fish to choose from at any of your local pet stores. Please reference our fish guide to help select your fish.
With the correct fish to plant ratio, the plants will clean the water for you! They will naturally filter the water through their roots.
