I bred albino Bristlenose plecos until I got tired of driving 2+ hours just to sell them. I now have 3 tanks just for my pleasure, with Kuhli loaches, brown Kuhli loaches, Red Cherry shrimp, and a school of Ember tetras, love'em!
I've not fed any of my fish to my chickens, but when I recently found a dead minnow in my pond it was offered to and enthusiastically accepted by one of the hens.
I have three tanks for my pleasure as well. All planted. One 75g, one 45g breeder, and a 5g orange neocaradina only tank. My 75 gallon has three stripe cories (sucessfully accidently breeding), a school of harlequin rasboras, mutt guppies (color culls that I'm still breeding out for stronger spines and smaller "delta" tails), a single Betta fish named "Mr Swimmy", neocaradina orange "culls", and some otos. The 45g has my breeding colony of black saddle guppies, yellow neocaradina shrimp, a school of lemon tetras, a clown pleco we rarely see, panda cories that breed steadily, and a breeding group of otos. Their spawns don't usually make it into adulthood, but a few have! The only thing I breed on purpose is the guppies, I got tired of seeing these poor overbred fish that have week backs, and huge tails they can't support. So, I picked a strain, and I'm slowly turning it into my perfect guppy.
I never thought I'd be okay with feeding my culls to the chickens but I don't want them reproducing, I don't want people to breed them, and well, I got covid and couldn't keep up with all the work across the 10 tanks I topped out at trying to let fish "retire" It's just impossible with guppies. Haha.
Today some more seeds sprouted. I didn't take any photos, sick as a dog and could hardly muster the strength to water anything, then I was finally able to eat something and after a few hours I coughed so hard that I gave it all to the porcelain god. So now I rest! I'll take photos in the morning, I'm sure more pumpkins and squash will sprout in the night.
