Feng Shui Fish

Feng Shui fish is a symbol of wealth and success. They are best placed near the entrance of your home. However, not all kinds of fish represent abundance and success.

If you have a pond near your home, it is beneficial to keep fish there as they will energise positive chi that the pond emanates.

If you keep fish figurines, it is good to have them of porcelain. You may see that some fish figurines come with a fisherman. This is also a great figurine to have.

If you have real fish, make sure that the water for them is always clean. If a fish dies, replace it immediately although a dead fish does not create bad luck as, for example, dead plants do.

Fish not only symbolise success and wealth, but also academic achievements. However, fish symbolising such achievements are shown differently to other Feng Shui fish. Such fish will be shown swimming upstream to be transformed into a dragon.

You can also have a fish as a subject in a painting or painted on a vase. It should have the same effect as a real fish or a figurine.

The best place to display fish is near the front entrance or on the living room table. However, be aware of the placement of a fish pond or aquarium near the entrance. They should never be placed on the right side of the door (on the right, that is, as you look out of the door) because that can cause quarrels and unfaithfulness in marriage (although it will keep bringing wealth).

As with fish aquariums, it is good to keep golden fish there as that will bring a lot of riches. The best fish for wealth, however, are arowanas. These are the only fish that are known as real Feng Shui fish in Malaysia, Hong Kong and Singapore because they attract good fortune and great prosperity to every home that has them.

Arowanas, also known as aruanas, are not easy to find. They are tropical fish which are native to the jungles of Indonesia, Thailand, Borneo and Indonesia. It is best to keep them single, in threes or fives and there should not be any other fish in aquarium.

They should be kept on a special diet which makes their scales turn gold and pink, which is a sign that money is about to come to your home. They are expensive fish to keep but will be worth every penny because of the amount of wealth they will bring.

There are other good fish to keep for prosperity. For example, famous Japanese carp known as koi is a great fish to keep. Chinese goldfish are also perfect for wealth attraction. If you decide to keep goldfish, it is best to keep nine of them in aquarium. Eight of them should be red and golden in color and the ninth one should be black. This is the ultimate wealth attraction combination.

The fish to avoid in your home is the Angel fish. With their poison arrow-like fins they create negative chi.
