It's called Aquaponics .... it's fairly simple theory ...

have place suitable enough to house fish fairly large tank...
grow pot like you would hydroponics ..
the fish fertilize the water, while the plants clean it ..

you need the tray about 1/4 - 1/2 the size of the top of the tank .. also would probably need water circulation pump, gravel of bottom of tank, long fluorescent lights , with a type of fish that doesnt like to eat roots ...

im not taking credit for thinking of this because i read it out of popular science but i thought id throw this idea out there if anyone wanted to attempt it...

i think i will try it with lettuce or something next year since i cannot grow in or around my house .. it's very interesting to me .. pop sci said talopia .. but i wanna go cheaper and get like gold fish.. maybe catch some blue gill

sounds like a great idea, very natural (in a totally unnatural way). can you imagine a fish tank in your living room with 3 six footers growing out the top!? :)
