This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You can add a third tier to the system: fresh water tilapia. The waste from the tilapia feeds the shrimp and the water from both fertilize the plants. The idea is to replicate natural nutrient cycles. The whole setup can be done outside in warmer climates, or indoors using LED grow lights. I've seen outdoor grow setups done in old in-ground swimming pools.

I was going to say CRAYFISH BOTTOM FEEDERS but in trying to educate myself i learned that they would be competing with the shrimp. so instead of shrimp farm, Crawdad farm! you do one, i'll do the other, we'll be neighbors, we can ride ponies to work, mine will be named Snuffles and yours will be named Clip Clop (Clip Clop loves salt licks so don't let her near the tank) and we can put it right next to the cheesery and cafe that i just decided is part of my fantasy.
