Welcome to the forum :wave: .

Try a search, there are a few people who've tried fruit trees and you should find some threads with information. I know Babaco (carica pentagona) will work. Most trees wouldn't be a good choice but you may find some that do - probably pretty small ones though.

The bacteria in the grow beds convert the ammonia in fish waste into nitrates that the plants can use. The medium for this is some type of rocks but not limestone which would raise the pH too much.
