today my friends fish died and he didnt know what to do with is so i told him to throw that fishy covered a little under his soil. i heard fish under the soil of where ur plant is gives it a lot of nutrients. its just a little gold fish about an inch. i was wonderin if i had like a fish tank around with no pumps only changed the water every 2 days and a fish dies if i can just poor the water along with the fish into the pot. will the water be to nasty or would if have nutrients too? thnx

just go buy a quart of Alaska fish emulsion, it's cheap and will cost less than a bunch of gold fish, and will be much easier to do just mix a TBL to a gallon of water, also it will be just as stinky..... Also the fish has been decomposing and has broken down and wont burn your plant like freshly decomposing matter, it's really high in nitrogen, this is why you compost things and let them breakdown over time and they will work much better, not that you can't use freshly dead fish I just prefer them to have rotted awhile too....

Fish mix under 10$ for a 250ml the price of 20 cigg,s it will have far better nutes than just dead gold fish if it would even do any thing

If u kill fish for fun stick 1 in the micro lol

lols i would never kill a fish inless i needed to survive bear grylls stats but yeah we just find em floatin at the top thanks for the tips

I wasn't sure if I was really reading this at first.

Yes, that plant will get plenty of nitrogen. The oils in the fish are also beneficial for the plants. So yes, plants like composted organic matter. On this we agree.

But you have a fresh little corpse rotting in the soil with your plant. Aside from all of the fungus, bacteria, and parasites that will infest your soil... Goldfish emit ammonia, especially when they die. This is why goldfish cannot be kept in the same tank as many other fish- they kill them by simply sharing the same environment. Definately not good for the plant.

As an owner of a saltwater tank, you will find that it will be more trouble than its worth. There is a science to a fish tank as well. Just changing the water every two days is not going to do you any good. In order to get the nutrients you are wanting, you will need a tank that is established. Meaning, you must run a tank through a cycle. It goes from Ammonia > nitrate > nitrite. After that, you have a properly set up tank with all the good bacteria in the water. Then you will need healthy fish, so that they can keep contributing to that cycle and keep it going. You are looking at 2 to 3 months minimum in order for there to be even enough nutrients in the water to do what you are wanting. I know eventually your going to ask if you can just use fishtank water to water your plants if you learn the biology of a fish tank. Just dont set up a saltwater tank though if that becomes your intention.

Just throwing a fish in a bowl of water and wait for it to die is cruel. If that is what you are seeking, just go get a bunch of feeder fish and kill them. But thats still not right. Besides, if your going to put a fish in a bowl without pumps and filters, why even bother changing the water?

Now if you want to set up a fish tank for the right reasons and get it going, then when a fish dies, then so be it, feed it to the plants. But fishtanks done properly take just as much patience as growing does. Oh yeah, did I mention PH plays a big role in a tank, consider that when adding it to your plants.

Smoking a bowl, sitting back and watching your fish swim around is pretty relaxing, why would you want to kill it.
