Can lotus be grown in a fish tank?

1. Reasons

The water in the lotus pot will attract small insects or other plankton over time. Their movement in the soil will muddy the water. Raising some small fish in the tank can remove these small organisms. Fish excrement is also a good nutrient and there is no need for fertilization.

2. Breeding methods

①First, choose river pond mud or other humus-rich soil, and add mud and some base fertilizer to the bottom of the pot.

② Transplant the lotus into the fish tank, and after the lotus grows floating leaves, you can start raising fish.

③ Before adding the small fish, cover the surface of the soil with stones to prevent the water from becoming turbid again.

④ After raising fish in water, there is no need to apply fertilizer, the feces of the fish are natural nutrients.

3. Notes

When choosing fish, be careful not to raise koi and lotus together, as koi will nibble on the lotus leaves.
