Would the water from my goldfish bowl be good for my houseplants?

More specifically, a pothos?

    Fish water is good for plants. Even if you added a chlorine remover to it. I've done it and the plants love it!

    Yes, it is a mild fertilizer.

    It is possible to use water from high density fish farms to grow crops. This is called aquaponics, and the fish provide 100% of the plant nutrients and the plants clean the waste from the water.

    Aquaponics stocks fish in high density. Your goldfish water is probably not concentrated enough to provide 100% of the fertilizer your plants need.
