What You Need To Know About Creating An Aquarium With Good Feng Shui
You can be as creative as you wish, but here are some of the basic considerations in creating a well-balanced aquarium that will bring very auspicious good luck!
1. Select a good sized aquarium that is enough to grab your attention when you enter the room, but will not overpower the size of your house or apartment. If you live in a large mansion then of course a larger tank would be more appropriate.
2. An abundant fish aquarium should always have the following:
a. At least 3,6, 8, 9 or hundreds of fishes (see below for types of fish to raise) to bring abundance and prosperity luck.
b. Green, leafy plants to symbolize WOOD and GROWTH energy.
c. A pair of DRAGONS to create YANG ENERGY for the Patriarch and Matriarch. 9 Dragons are also very suitable if you have sufficient space.
d. Pebbles and stones to create EARTH energy for harmonious relationships. Use auspicious stones etched with good luck affirmations or mantras if you can - they are even more effective as they will energize the water with special blessings!
e. Lights to bring in the element of FIRE for Recognition
f. A very powerful water filter to keep the water clean
g. A decent pump (for the size of your tank) to keep the water well oxygenated.
3. There is nothing more inauspicious than having fish die on you regularly! So please keep your tank water healthy and clean, and ensure that there is sufficient oxygen for all your fishes to stay thriving and happy. Feed them regularly but be careful not to cloud the water through over-feeding. Seek assistance from your pet shop on how to maintain adequate PH levels of your water.
WHAT KIND OF FISH SHOULD I HAVE IN MY AQUARIUM?
GUPPIES AND CARP FOR ABUNDANCE
Golden Carp and Rainbow guppies invite plenty of abundance if you can raise them in large numbers! The tricky thing about raising carp is that you will need a fairly large aquarium or pond for them to thrive - because they can get quite large! For smaller aquariums you can easily raise hundreds of guppies inside a medium-sized tank! Guppies are excellent because their rainbow-colours symbolise all the 7 treasures - gold, silver, lapis lazuli, etc! Place plenty of plant life inside to create an environment suitable for them to breed. When your fish multiply on their own it brings excellent growth in careers and business.
AROWANAS OR GOLDFISH FOR PROSPERITY
Another name for Arowana is "Dragon fish" and they are terrifically effective for activating wealth. Their power comes from their long silky silvery bodies that emulate waving swords when they swim and turn around your aquarium. To raise Arowanas you must have the space for a fairly long horizontal aquarium to give them sufficient space to swim and turn.
Arowanas are best kept in odd numbers, and you should keep at least 5 in a single aquarium and train them to eat dried food pellets. Avoid feeding any of your fish LIVE food as this is very bad feng shui! If you don't have enough space for a lengthy aquarium in your home, an equally effective alternative is to raise Goldfish. The optimum number of goldfish to keep is 8 gold + 1 black goldfish. Goldfish can thrive very well in vertical aquariums (that are space-saving) and they are very happy swimming up and down!
