Good point Seamaiden on the lake cichlids. They're well adapted to extremely hard water and should thrive better than goldfish in a res. Tilapia are tough cichlids too, they ought to work well. Goldfish are very uncomfortable at temps above 80F, but cichlids and catfish can thrive at high temps, so they're probably better choices. But, wait. Come to think of it, (plants growing in) water culture systems can have problems with lack of O2 at higher temps, too. Maybe goldfish or koi in a cooler system would be better?
Koi are known to dig up plant roots when housed in lilyponds, so I wouldn't go with koi. I have always loved goldies, but honestly, how about going even smaller? Lots of fish can tolerate a pretty wide range of temps and conditions, Africans can do well in a system @68F, and goldies/koi can certainly tolerate warmer temps (though they do prefer higher O2 levels).Good point Seamaiden on the lake cichlids.

Smaller gouramis could work. I'm not so sure how a convict would work out, I've seen them tear up planted tanks and can't imagine them not doing the same sort of thing to a fat rootball.
Hi all, first time here
this is my aquaponic system, with Malawi Cichlids and a Parrot, 280 L, Ph 7,6 and Ice from Nirvana.
Greatings from Brasil
I would guess, then, that if they're able to travel from river to river that they might be able to travel out of the reservoir. That could be a problem, especially if you end up with dead eel under your house.i dont realy no i now they travel from river to river but they are good cleaners wit a lid should be write im no fish expert but
