Setting this up in your home would be a great way to teach children about how the aspects in nature are interdependent on each other without any human involvement. It’s the natural order of the eco-system. The fish also extract food from the vegetable patch, which is eventually completely consumed. Then the greens return the favor by purifying the water, which is essential for the fish to live. The vegetable patch extracts nutrients from the fish excrement. They each depend on each other to thrive. This delicate combination of freshwater fish mixed with a leafy vegetable patch is based on aquaponics and the balance of two living things. This is a temporary, green eco-system that eventually gets eaten by the natural cycle of life.
You fill it with fish like a standard aquarium, although that’s where the similarities end.
This freshwater fish and vegetable patch eco-system come in a DIY kit. With so much focus on technology and how it enhances our lives and everything inside our homes, there is something about this indoor eco-system that relies on the delicate balance of the relationship between plants and fish that is really appealing.
