introduction to our biome!

purpose of investigation: to understand the importance of an aquaponics biome and its surroundings.

hypothesis: plants will increase the amount of positive growth throughout the aquaponic

plants: spinach (scientific name: spinach oleracea)
           basil (scientific name: ocimum basilicum

animals: black molly (scientific name: poecilia sphenops)

medium: putting stems in hydrogen beads for more support

- we will document the process in our notebooks then post pictures and updates on blogspot

- we know we have succeeded when our fish live and the plant's growth increase as well as having a healthy living environment for our fish and plants







Aquaponics Questions

  1. So far our plants have grown very well and are fish have not died yet.
  2. The smell of our fish bucket is very bad, but it is easy to get use to.
