How To Use A Feng Shui Fish Tank

Do you know the benefits a Feng Shui fish tank can bring to your home? In Asian and Chinese culture a fish symbolizes prosperity. Water is one of the important elements in Feng Shui astrology and the fish and water combination can produce successful outcomes in your life.

The Chinese word ‘yu’ is used to denominate fish and success. The fish water should be disposed in such a way that it allows the fish to move freely as it would in its natural habitat. This would bring about a perfect balance among the elements and the effects can be seen in the surrounding equilibrium.

Goldfish are important Feng Shui fish which symbolizes baby dragons. These goldfish represent creators of good luck and good outcomes for any new enterprise you wish to start. For instance a fish bowl with goldfish in it could be placed at the entrance of any business place.

According to Feng Shui astrology having a fish in clear water would help you attain great achievements in life. Now the question that arises is where to begin, and what is the best location for a Feng Shui fish tank in your house? This article will answer these queries by teaching you the right way to install a fish tank.

The Fish Tank Need Not Be Large

Many people are under the wrong impression that a fish tank should occupy an entire wall in a room. This should not be the case. Feng Shui is based on the principle of balance and simplicity. Attempting to fit a large fish tank into a small house or room, will make the room feel cluttered. 

Smaller aquariums or fish bowls containing one or two goldfish add a balance to the room. If you are on a tight budget, this is an economical option for you. Large aquariums require a lot of care and maintenance. 

Installation of the Feng Shui Fish Tank

Feng Shui comprises of the five natural elements which are water, wood, fire, metal and earth. These elements need to complement and balance each other. A fishbowl or a smaller tank will be used as a room accent once you install it.

A room decorated in shades of brown or golden tan provides a perfect complement for these water elements. Bright colored fishes like goldfish provide a great contrast with the brown colors.

A Feng Shui fish tank has to be properly placed and should not overpower the other elements in the room. For instance, placing the fish tank next to a fireplace will not prove beneficial. The reason for this is that water and fire are two strong elements in Feng Shui. These elements may compete for attention and will not result in harmony.

The different effects of these fish tanks depend on the number, kind and the color of fish you keep. For instance having two gold fish and one black can help achieve a perfect balance, as goldfish symbolizes energy and prosperity and the black fish symbolizes protection.

In conclusion we can say that installing a Feng Shui fish tank in a proper location is very important. Take time in deciding which location best suits your fish tank.
