Fish are believed to be providential in Feng Shui as symbols of good luck, wealth and prosperity relating to the element water. There are many types of fish that can bring good fortune to its owners. According to the study of Feng shui, flowerhorns, gold fish and arowanas are just some of the fishes which are considered auspicious to keep at home and in business shops.
The Asian arowana is very much revered by the Chinese and associated it with profusion and riches. An arowana is not a poor man’s fish and they are bred in a specialized and highly regulated fish farm. If properly taken care of, this fish can grow as much as four feet in tanks or aquariums.
According to feng shui theory, there are five elements that create harmony, balance and prosperity in our environment. These are wind, wood, fire, earth and water. All these elements must combine in order to maintain the force of life called Chi. Arowana in water is very lucky for most Asian people since the element of water has a direct relationship with the flow of money. Aside from lucky numbers, the color of the fish is also determines the purpose of its owners. Black fish is kept to counteract all negative and undesirable; the white and gold to boost wealth and red fish to develop job rank or clout. For business feng shui, you can select gold or yellow to increase sales and business traffic.
If you decide to keep an arowana for the purpose of attracting good luck, you should consider the shape, height, size and the placement of the aquarium. The size of the tank must not be too large. Consult an expert feng shui practitioner to help you obtain the correct lucky measurement using the feng shui ruler. Placement of the aquarium must be done in the wealth corner or a bright spot in the house. Ensure that the tank is well lighted and decorated with various aquatic plants to generate life energies. It is believed that when a fish died, it has absorbed bad luck intended for its owners. If this is the case, immediately remove the dead fish. Change the water in the aquarium and find a replacement.
Do not place the tank under your prayer altar, since this will cause excessive movement of qi or energy flow. Never put the aquarium in your bedroom to avoid getting ill or experience financial problems. It is appropriate to set the tank in the eastern or southern location of your house. It will do in the southwest bearing but is not as powerful as the two areas. The northwest and west is conflicting to the auspiciousness of the other locations. It is advisable to place a red colored object or a bottle gourd to counteract the negative energy.
