Key Considerations for Fish Tank Placement

-

 Nowadays, many families have fish tanks at home. Properly placing a fish tank can bring good fortune to you and your family, while incorrect placement might lead to negative effects. So, what are the Feng Shui principles for fish tank placement in a home? Let’s explore them together.

1. Key Considerations for Fish Tank Placement

1. Do not place a fish tank under the God of Wealth
As the saying goes, "Wealth belongs in the wealth position." Statues of deities like Fu, Lu, and Shou should be placed in a prominent wealth-enhancing location. Placing them above a fish tank is a major Feng Shui mistake. Fish tanks are typically placed in “inauspicious” areas of a home to neutralize negative energy. Putting the God of Wealth near a fish tank conflicts with the principle of wealth positioning and may result in financial loss.

2. Avoid placing fish tanks in auspicious areas
Every home has flaws or external challenges that can disrupt energy. Fish tanks can mitigate these issues. In Feng Shui, water in an inauspicious area can transform adversity into good fortune. Therefore, fish tanks are better placed in “inauspicious” spots rather than auspicious ones.

3. Fish tanks should not be too large
An oversized fish tank stores excessive water, which is undesirable in Feng Shui. The tank should not exceed the eye level of a standing adult. This is especially true for smaller living rooms, where large tanks can overpower the space.

4. Avoid placing the fish tank opposite the stove
Fish tanks symbolize water, while stoves represent fire. Water and fire clash in Feng Shui, creating disharmony that can affect family health. If a fish tank aligns directly with the kitchen stove, it leads to “water overcoming fire,” which could harm the health of those who cook regularly. Fish tanks should also not align directly with home altars.

5. Do not place a fish tank behind the sofa
Water is inherently unstable. Using it as a “backing” is not advisable in Feng Shui, as it cannot provide reliable support. Placing a fish tank behind a sofa can destabilize the home’s energy. However, placing it beside the sofa is fine.

2. Who Should Keep Fish?

Since fish rely on water, people whose five elements favor water (per Chinese astrology) are best suited for keeping fish:

  • People born in summer or with a “fire-heavy” chart benefit most from fish tanks.
  • Those who experience better luck in the second half of the year (or worse luck during the summer) may also benefit.

On the other hand, individuals born in winter or whose charts dislike water should avoid keeping fish.

Goldfish and koi are excellent choices for attracting wealth, especially in gold or silver colors, which enhance financial energy. Black fish, such as black koi, are better for dispelling negative energy.

3. Fish Tank Feng Shui Tips

1. Avoid placing fish tanks directly opposite the main door
While some place fish tanks near the front door to welcome fortune, tanks with reflective surfaces (like mirrors) should not face the door. Such reflections can deflect wealth out of the house.

2. Avoid stagnant water
Fish tanks should have clean, circulating water to maintain positive energy. Stagnant water becomes “dead water,” reducing its ability to dispel negative energy. Ensure fish are active and thriving to keep energy flowing.

3. Maintain cleanliness
A clean tank symbolizes vibrant energy. If fish die, replace them promptly to avoid financial loss. However, if all the fish die, it may indicate that keeping fish is unsuitable for your home.

4. Match tank size to home size
The tank size should correspond to the size of your home. A small fish tank in a large house may fail to improve Feng Shui, while an overly large tank in a small home may create imbalance.

4. Ideal Fish Tank Placement

1. Suitable locations
According to Feng Shui, the wealth position is diagonally opposite the main entrance. Placing a fish tank here can enhance the energy field of your home.

2. Areas that need balancing
Fish tanks can be used to neutralize problematic areas, such as spaces under beams or near sharp angles, which may disrupt wealth energy.

3. Background considerations
A black background behind the fish tank can enhance its Feng Shui effectiveness. Avoid placing fish tanks directly against empty walls, as this can absorb negative energy over time.

5. Number and Types of Fish

The number of fish you keep also matters. The following numbers carry specific meanings:

  • 1 fish: Attracts love and romance.
  • 4 fish: Encourages wisdom and academic success.
  • 8 fish: Enhances wealth and prosperity.
  • 9 fish: Promotes family harmony and smooth operations.

Conclusion

These are the key Feng Shui principles for fish tank placement.

Feng Shui taboos and solutions for bed positions

-
 There are detailed explanations and suggestions for resolving the issues ranging from the direction of the head of the bed, taboos on bed placement, to various details that may affect health, wealth, and the relationship between husband and wife. For the sake of organization and memory, I divide the content into several main parts and summarize them as follows: 1. Basic principles for placing beds Avoid facing the door or window: Opening the door and seeing a horizontal bed (especially facing it) will lead to poor sleep quality, health problems, and even back pain. It is not good for the end of the bed or the head of the bed to face the window, which is easy to cause confusion and misjudgment. The head of the bed must be against a solid wall: The head of the bed without support will make people feel insecure, and their mobility and decision-making ability will be weakened. It is especially bad to lean against the window, which means that there is no support and no wealth. Solution...
