Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese practice of achieving harmony with specific placement of certain objects in your house or office. How does this pertain to you and especially your fish tank? A person according to Feng Shui has an energy source called Qi. Qi is the person’s “energy” and can be affected postively or negatively by their surroundings. Luck, health and prosperity are usually the main focus for Feng Shui.
 In order for a good flow, you need to keep your tank cleaned and to make sure your aquarium is healthy. Unclean tanks and sick fish can cause “bad chi” to emit from it and instead of giving you good chi, it’ll do more harm than good. There’s alot more feng shui belief about this so if you find it interesting, let me know what else you find out. Now I know most of you don’t have goldfish tank but you can take the same principles and apply it to your own fish tanks. 1. Keep your fish tank clean To me personally, it’s just more enjoyable watching a clean tank than a dirty tank. So after writing this, I will be cleaning my goldfish tank at the office today.

Having a fish tank or aquarium can help increase positive Feng Shui in your life. It is said that it can help increase wealth and luck by having one in your house or office. The main belief is to have 8 goldfish (as gold symbolizes wealth/luck) and 1 black fish (to absorb any bad luck). Most common fish tanks practicing this belief uses goldfish. I have a goldfish tank in my office. Keeping a tank of 9 fishes in your office/home sounds simple but requires much more.

I’ve 2 QUERIES.KINDLY EMAIL ME THE ANSWERS TO kamalbando@yahoo.com.
1.) According to Vaastu/Feng Sui are we supposed to keep 9 Gold Fish and 1 Black Fish or 8 Gold Fish and 1 Black Fish?
2.) 3 days back I bought an Aquarium and 2 Gold Fishes died yesterday itself.Water is of good quality and I gave teh same food which the pet shop provided me.Light over the tank was OFF when they died.Till the time it was ON they survived for 2 days as the LIGHT was on continously.May I please know whats the reason that they died and what are the factors which really matter these fishes and how can I keep them alive?Does the LIGHT have any impact over the fishes?
3.) How to breed the Gold Fishes? I want to increase them in number.How may I do that?
Plz reply to my emailid as well.Thnx a Ton.
1. keep 9 gold and 1 black. black is suppose to absorb bad luck that would’ve gone to you. so if it passes away, that means it took the bad luck for you.
2. did you cycle your tank? if not, look up cycling your aquarium before you put any fish in. also don’t leave your lights on continously. have them on a set schedule. get a timer to make it easier.

HI Nilesh,
I really like the way you care for your fishes. I am sure my suggestion is very late for you now, but dont worry it will help you in future.
Firstly treat the dead fish with respect. dont put your hand or spoons or any other objects to pick them,use the fish net , remove them and take nice clean newspaper wrap it up, put in clean plastic cover and then dispose it.
The fishes may die for various reasons : unhealty water is main reason, meaning..the water might look clean..but the ammonia will be increasing high,,,this is also by excess food given to them.so dont over feed them…that may cause their death.
Hi !,
I have heard that sharks are not to be kept in the aqaurium in the house as per feng shui, is it true that they bring bad luck. I have a 100 litre tank facing my main door & i have a variety of fish a few of them being subankin gold (5nos), gold (1nos), Black moor gold (2nos), loche (3 nos), Rainbow shark (red tailed) (2 nos), Silver shark (2 nos), koi carp (2 nos) & a sucker fish (shark again). If raising sharks is a concern then i might actually trade my fishes with a friend who has a bigger tank & similiar species of fish & would probably get a whole new species of cichlids. Please advise.

i have 10 nos of gold fish in my tank that comprises as 3 yellow gold fish ,2 mixed red and white gold fish,and 5orange gold fish and recently i have purchased one black moor alltogether i have 11 now is it a ok as to keep according pl suggest
i have bought a new small aquarium,where should i keep in ma home?plz help me guys
This is the best advice.
Firstly you have to buy a really big fish tank.
Then add 8 gold fish, 1 black fish, 2 transparent fish, 3 fluorescent fish which are visible in the dark(glow in the dark). Also add 2 invisible fish. You can buy them on the website, but they are expensive because they are invisible.
Then climb into the fish tank, and close the cover of the tank. Now you became the 17th fish.
Feng-shui is not fake. Understand the significance of anything before blindly believing stuff. Why will somebody give you free information, if they know you will pay for it?
Knowledge was never free.

Hi, someone told me that having Fish tank or Aquarium are bad if you have one family member whose profession a seaman? is this true?
to increase wealth one can keep SILVER ARWANA alone in a tank.others can keep DENISONII (MISS KERALA ) a rare quality aquarium fish..works highly in increasing wealth..it really works. Always keep your aquarium in the north side of dining room. never keep in living room..change 1/3 water every week. fish will never die..

Hi guys i am starting a new setup , I have been to the local fish store I am setting up a nice 4l 2b by 3h . I am planning to put a tank divider diividing it into 1/3 and 2/3 .. All fish will be juvinilles . The 2/3 will house 9 gold fish ( orandas, redcaps, blackmore) and a silver juvinile arrowana while the 1/3 I plan to keep a flower horn . The divider will be black and with plants hence the flower horn can’t see the other fish . Will the arrowana get along with the gold fish . The bio filters will be state of the art and I plan to buy a 200 g tank after a yr n half for when the arrowana and flower horn get real big .
Please advise if this is ok thanks ,I am a beginner so need help

please advise where to keep fish tank in house als pls advise as soon as possible.
Thankyou for the article it was interesting to read.
I have slight confusion about somethings though. I have been given a small tank that currently just has water snails in it. It has no plants and is full of ‘algae’ as apparently this is what the snails like.
I wondered if that is bad feng shui to keep snails in an algae tank? Or not because that is how they like to be, so its natural for them rather than keeping it very clean?
Are tanks better in an office or living room? I read somewhere that if you have mirrors in your office it is best to avoid a tank. I have floor length mirrored wall that I cannot change.
Regards

Hello everyone , good to know various conversations and Views and situation , i am also new to fish tank world with various inputs from pets shops , what i came to know after all readings and research, if you want to activate feng shui chei energy , 1) minimum 9 fish required ( 8 Gold and 1 Black ) or keep odd number fish with 1 black and rest in same colour like red or gold . 2) technically just number of fish is not important but to have that number of fish survive and breath with proper clean environment you need sufficient size of tank and all equipments ( e.g air pump, water filter , water heater incase you are in cold place, regular maintenance of water ( remove 30% of water every week or 10 days depends on how much waste your fish generates and amonia in water , check regular PH level of water , provide proper food and light . also there is ratio for tank capacity 1 gallon per inch of fish size for gold fish bit more as they produce lots of food waste and amonia .
3) based on vastu / feng shui north, north east and east is best sides of house .
i hope this will help everyone .
have a prosperous and healthy life and fish aquarium .
