Aquaponics

This is something have been looking into for a while now and find it very interesting. I plan on getting my own up and running in no time. BTW your veg looks so fresh and tasty! Well done!
 
I'm really glad I found this thread! The aquaponics concept is really fascinating to me!

In a perfect world, I'd love to see chickens and maybe even bunnies in the mix, where their poop is helping feed the fish.

I'm surprised I don't see more people doing this, but wondering if that's because it isn't really a viable solution?

Using poop to feed the fish? I have a feeling that wouldn't be a good idea. The idea is to use the waste to feed the plants, as the poop contains ammonia, which is toxic to fish. Fish also have certain nutritional requirements that need to be met.

Keep in mind, the ratio between the plants and the fish should be based on the feeding rate ratio, which should be kept at around 60 to 100g/m²/day. If the ammonia is too high, the fish will die.
