Growing in an aquarium... with a pet inside?

[SenorSanteria]

I dont know why this idea just popped in my head- but it did, and Id like to share.

Currently, I am not in a position that allows me to grow (dorm living, and ill be living at home over the summer). But I am preparing and reading up on what I need to know, so im ready when I move into my own place with a few friends (who toke as much as I do). It will be a perfect environment to grow in, especially since each of my roomates will also be growing.

Anyway, the idea I had was... is there any animal that can live with a plant that is grown in an aquarium that wont harm it? Like a small snake or something. I was thinking that keeping an animal in the aquarium would be a great way to disquise the lights and fan, and take the focus off of the plant, and put it on the animal- in the event someone were to ever see it and they shouldnt.

Im not sure Im explaining this right- but think of it this way... A 50gallon aquarium with 2 plants for decoration, a large lamp,a reptile maybe and a small fan would be MUCH more low-key than a traditional grow setup, dont you think? I just dont know if there is an animal that wouldnt harm the plant...

dont talk daft. snake. lol. just use a closet.
the answer is no. id say.

there would either be to much lite for the snake. or to less lite for plant. and temps would be too humid, in a tank. ,.

I don't know. Interesting idea though marijuana plants are pretty unmistakable - even if a boa is curled around it.

do reptile aquariums generally have high RH? I like the results in low RH conditions? and a pot plant is a pot plant is a pot plant....its pretty tell tale and widely known for its growth charateristics....I expect a snake would work....but.....wouldn't the light intensity also be raqther bothersome for the snake? or whatever animal....these lights...to grow properly are damn bright....? interesting thought....though...good luck!

i don't think i would do it cause reptiles aren't exactly the cleanest things around. They carry disease and you have to feed them live rodents. plus i wouldn't want the little buggers crapping on my plants!

i would say like a anole or two couldnt hurt anything

lady bugs - at least they'll eat any aphids and some other plant predators. i would be afraid of a snail sucking out all my resin and then eating all the leaves after getting the munchies.

 

[crazy-mental]

id sack that idea. how would you get air, and good drainage. and plus it would get mouldy and full of germs.

 

[FourTwentyMan]

lol...neet idea but ..yes the light intensity(required for growing a plant worth your while) would be to much for the snake to handle...plus...im pretty sure the pot plants would be the things doing the distraction...everyone knows what a marijuana leaf looks like...and if i saw a tank id go see whats in it ...and id be waaaay more interested in the plant....think about it ...what do u do when u see a tank with a light on?? u look for the animal inside it...what do animals do ? they hide. and we look for them...and if you dont see it away you are automatically going to see everything else in the tank

Heat up the stove, we're having escargot tonight.

My red-tailed boa doesn't like the idea. She figures the excess light, humidty, the > 2 foot height would be too many limiting factors.

 

[tahoe58]

hey Willie.....awesome pic....I wouldn't be arguing with her...hahahahahaha

I figured it would be too much light for a boa. I used to have a bunch of anoles, that I kept the light on 18hrs a day, and they loved it. It was a heat lamp too, so i think they could handle it, and wouldnt do much damage to the plant.

I dunno, Im just throwing ideas out there. Im probably going to do a closet aerogarden setup. (btw, is it possible to flower with the plant still in the aerogarden, or will it be too big?)

that actually sounds quite delicious. damn i'm stoned.

grow in a fish tany with stirofoam and shit it works and fish shit is good for the plant
