I have a small outdoor aquaponics system. It has a few rosyred/fathead minutes, some american ghost shrimp, and some ramshorn snails. besides topping it off everyonce and a while and throwing a bloodworm cube in there once every 2 weeks and the electricity, its self sufficient. Also grows plants faster than soil!

My 55g!
Yeah, this is mint:
Similar plants work well! Seems most green, nodular vine plants do fine like this.

Here's our setup. It's only been about days, so we'll see how it goes. Pothos, spider plant and some type of fern. We searched every greenhouse in the area and lo and behold, Home Depot had everything we were looking for!
I've experienced that spider plants cannot compete with pothos for nutrients. They do fine alone, as the only emergent species. But all my spiders turned white and slowly died when used in systems with pothos. Only one remains in my 55g and it's looking like a zombie. You can see it right in the center, to the left of the vase/light in the first pic I posted above. Yes, it could be my tap water, or the lighting, or the brands of fish food I'm using. But why cry "zebra" when it's probably just another horse?
