Making the most of pleco poop


SamH

Recommended Posts

I have 40 odd baby BN plecos doing A LOT of poop everyday. I usually siphon it out during a water change and pour it onto the garden.

My question is...

Can I use this somehow as aquatic plant fertilizer? If so, how?

Thanks! :hail:

To use it as terrestrial plant fertilizer siphon it out and pour it on the garden. To use it as aquatic plant fertiliser don't siphon it out.

I suppose you could filter it out as you siphon, then dry it, compress it into little tabs and put them under the plants...Hahaha...Too much trouble.

Bare bottomed tank so no plants to use it :wink:

Just the answer I was looking for! :D:hail:
