When I change the water in my fish tank would this water and waste be beneficial to house plants?

No. If you treated your water it will probably harm your plants. Plants need the chemicals that are in the water. To much fish waste is also to acidy but in SMALL amounts it is ok for plants. HOWEVER, If any fish die, plant the body in the soil,, that is GOOD fertilizer.

Very high in nitrates and amonia. Not a good idea.
Reply:No-nasty yucky-like dipping water from a school toilet on fish day that won't flush.
Reply:yes it would because the algae has vitamins.
Reply:might be, but it sure would stink to high heaven after awhile....good luck
Reply:no
Reply:It is of great nutritional value for your plants. A super recycling tip.
Reply:yes the water from your fish tank is very good for your plants,i always use it.
Reply:yes
Reply:Perhaps, but it would smell. Better to let the benefit go to the outside plants!
Reply:Old aquarium water is fantastic for plants, especially if you have fish that create a lot of waste like goldfish. The only thing you have to watch for is to avoid watering house plants with fish water if you've added any of these to the tank: aquarium salt (or any), any medication, or any chemical, including pH adjusters or algae killers etc. The last two generally aren't safe for aquariums anyway. pH up is fine if you know exactly what you are doing, but pH down (acid) and algae ridding chemicals (pesticides) are generally more harmful than good, for both your fish and houseplants.
Reply:no no no ,it will kill them its because of urine from fish,
Reply:It can, but the bacteria could make your house smell. It's better if it's used for garden plants outside.
Reply:If you have fresh water fish the water is good for your plants.



If you have salt water fish, the water will kill your plants.
