Best if I can set up some aquaponic plants on top and recirculate the water to the fishes and then back to the plants.
That basically does the trick. The fish, the plant and the sand create a closed circuit, the filters just clean the water. You also need a cleaning fish or two. 🙂
Yes, this is a closed ecological system.
My dad was the one who liked rearing fishes 🙂
Is that right? So you learned from him? How nice.
Dad was the one who kept pets, fishes, birds, silk worms etc.
Silk worms? That is unusual.
We reared them, there were some other insects too.
Like I said, at least to a Westerner, raising silk worms sounds very unusual. Fascinating.
You realize how they become cocoons and finally to moths!
Yes. It is just so unusual that it called my attention. And silk is THE ultimate material.
When I said you realize, I actually meant that silk worms are reared here as pets, so that they are given to understand their life cycle, the metamorphosis and how you can get silk – as you said the ultimate material. It was quite educational.
It most certainly is. I remember as a child, capturing a butterfly, that laid eggs, that turned into caterpillars, then butterflies again. 🙂
This is very educational; we have frogs and tadpoles too!
Okayyyy. I had a small frog in one of my aquariums once. It jumped out of the aquarium once we were on vacation and died. 😦
The frogs I had were thumb nail size – they are now almost extinct!
I put a sea fish in my aquarium to see how it survived, it turned pale, pump out of the tank and died!
Oh.
I think they are called Roman frogs.
Never heard of those. Will check them out.
As a kid, I didn’t know they were a species which may extinct.
I love goldfish.
🙂
I see you have a real aquarium with real plants. Good job.
(I had one for many years, once you get them started it works by itself)

Beautiful!
Yes, they are lovely!
