Feng Shui and Aquariums

      Water is a basic and traditional Feng Shui element, and the combination between Feng Shui,  water and fish can produce successful results. In Chinese, the word "yu" is used  both for fish and success as well.

     Movement of water and fish in the aquarium, activate and increase "chi" energy  in your home. A tank arranged by the Feng Shui principles can bring wealth and luck in a household. The fish will help with Feng Shui positive energy, eliminating negative energy from your home.

     The Chinese have always associated fish with prosperity by saying "nien nien yew yu" that means to collect wealth every year. Given the powerful symbolism of fish, Chinese homes are often decorated with ponds, aquariums and art objects representing fishes.
     The goldfish  are very important in Feng Shui. These fish are traditionally  dragons babies, which makes them good luck bringers, who bring good results in any business that want to start it. For example, a goldfish bowl is ideal to be located at the entrance where you going to start a business (personally I disagree with keeping fish in a bowl).

     Chinese tend to put put eight golden and one black moor fish to attract wealth. In Feng Shui the number 8 represents prosperity. If a disaster will befall your family, the nine fish will die, taking on him misfortune. If a black fish died is important to be replaced with another black fish.
     To increase their fortune, some Feng Shui practitioners added coins to the bottom tank. If you decide to follow this advice, you must ensure that these coins will not affect fish in the aquarium.

     One of the best Feng Shui tips to promote wealth is to place an aquarium in the eastern part of the house. It is important to be clean water in the aquarium.

     Avoid adding red aquarium fish, red represents fire.

Arrowana fish is known to Chinese as live dragon or golden dragon, because of his metallic dragon scales color. Arrowana has a mysterious mental abilities that enable them to always keep focus, to understand human language, and is very talented. 

     It is said that Arrowana send powerful vibrations which increase the surrounding aura  and can predict future negative events. Therefore, those who rise Arrowana fish say that  sometimes have seen them hitting the tank walls to warn about bad things that will occur. It is said that this faithful fish would jump from the aquarium, committing suicide to banish negativity with the price of their lives.
