Just like the title says....would fish in a hydroponic setup be benefical to a hydroponic system?
Fish in a res?

Large scale would be easier i think. Keeping an enclosed system (aquarium) you will have to balance nitrogen nitrate and ammonia in addition to the life cycle of cannabis would be different than rice.
But it would be pretty cool if you could grow...say tilapia and cannabis...then you could cook the fish when they get big enough and slather them in bud butter.

Would the fish not oxygenate the water as well? I legit think I am going to give this a go.

It’s being done at a greenhouse size. I’ve seen them on YouTube
Not specifically for weed though but shouldn’t be much different than veggies.

@Evergreengardener would know. I think they use the oxygen. My .02

To the books to learn I go....Im getting ready to do " some shit " in the garden this time around.

I was thinking of something like minows or gold fish on a 5 gallon res but then I know I would need other micro life to support the rest. My plan is an entire grow without dropping a single thing in the water...If you’re talking smaller than one of those big square totes that fish come in it’s probably not there yet but I’m sure it’s doable

They would use it but the movement of them constantly breaking the surface of the water would then allow more oxygen into the water....in theory? I am digging deep today.

Maybe a Beta fish would be a better example?

I would go with platys...they can withstand a really large range of temps and can live in some harsh conditions.
they breed fast too.
white cloud minnows and zebra danios would be stellar too....they are introducery fish and can ;put up with a lot of fluctuations.
You can get them in bulk...one fish makes a lot of babies.

I am looking to see what fish has what in their poop. Hows your day going LOL....I'll have to look into them as well. I am sure it is possible but actually getting there. That's a different ball game.

A sucker fish might also be a nice road to venture down too...

My one DWC plant made me never want to use soil ever again and I am actually quite mad that I didnt make the jump a while ago. While I may keep a soil plant here and there....DWC is the way for me now. I wanted to go RDWC but since I run multis...I didnt want nutes to be a problem.

It's root growth can be phenomenal I don't blame u
If you want to go the whole aquaponic way you would need to go back to an organic cycle, the bigger the better because it will be more stable.
They will mainly produce N more anything else so maybe not the best only input for flower, but a couple a gold fish in a dark tank could be a nice boost in veg . You will need to feed them and study a bit of the N cycle. The goldfishes maybe be a consumables too .
As Sfrigon said if you want a water only cycle it is easier to go with a living soil... Less trouble
