The Complete Guide to Feng Shui for Raising Goldfish
Introduction: Goldfish is a kind of Feng Shui fish, and many people choose goldfish as their first choice when raising Feng Shui fish. There are many varieties of goldfish, and their colors include red, orange, purple, blue, black, silver, and mottled. They are divided into four major breeds: Wen, Cao, Dragon, and Egg. Goldfish are easy to raise. They have strange postures, bright colors (usually golden yellow), and beautiful shapes. Goldfish can beautify the environment and are very popular among people. They are ornamental fish with Chinese characteristics. What Feng Shui knowledge do you need to know when raising goldfish? What are the Feng Shui considerations for raising goldfish? Next, let’s follow the editor to learn more about it! Below are some related articles about fish tank Feng Shui. Let’s take a look.

1. Raising goldfish must be in accordance with the five elements of the household owner.

According to the theory of I Ching, the five elements are mutually generated and restrained. Among gold, wood, water, fire and earth, gold generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, and earth generates gold. Metal restrains wood, wood restrains earth, earth restrains water, water restrains fire, and fire restrains metal. From this we can see that water controls fire. If a person's horoscope indicates water aversion, it is not suitable for him to keep goldfish.
For example: A person was born on November 12, 1972 in the lunar calendar at the time of Shen. The eight characters are: Ren Zi, Ren Zi, Ren Wu, Wu Shen. The whole life is filled with water, but the person does not like water. It is not suitable for this person to raise goldfish. For example, a person was born at noon on May 4, 1967 in the lunar calendar. The eight characters are: Ding Wei, Bing Wu, Bing Wu, Jia Wu. There is too much fire in this life, and water is needed to balance it, so it is advisable to raise goldfish. In addition, if a person's five elements lack water, placing a goldfish tank is the most suitable.

2. The placement of the goldfish tank

The location of the goldfish tank cannot be placed randomly. There are two principles: one is to place it in the prosperous or wealth direction of the house; the other is to determine it based on the Zero God and the Positive God in the Xuan Kong Dafa. Mountains control population and water controls wealth. Mountain star is the righteous god and should be kept still and not moved. It is only used as the ancestral shrine, etc. It is also called Ding star. If you see tall and stable objects here, it will surely lead to a strong population. If you see something like a fish tank, it means Ding star going into the water, which will surely lead to the failure of both Ding and wealth. Mercury is also known as the Zero God. It is prosperous and better to be active than to be static. As the ancient saying goes: Water is prosperous when it is weak, and mountain is prosperous when it is strong. Therefore, placing the fish tank at a place where there is no movement of the spirit will surely bring prosperity and wealth. The method of judging the main god and the zero god position is determined by the Three Yuan and Nine Stars.
It should not be placed under the statue of a god - it is not appropriate to place a fish tank under any statue of a god, especially under the statue of the God of Wealth or Guan Gong, as that would be "the righteous god going into the water", which will lead to financial loss! The fish tank should not face the kitchen stove. This is called [water and fire conflict], which is mostly detrimental to your health. The fish tank cannot be too high or too low. If it is too high, the water will flood your head whether you are sitting or standing, which is very dangerous. If it is too low, below the knee, the foot pedal will not work and will be of no use.

3. The shape and height of the goldfish tank

The shape of the goldfish tank is determined by where it is placed. From the perspective of Feng Shui, in principle a round fish tank is the most suitable. However, due to factors such as house structure, round fish tanks are less common. The shape of the fish tank varies depending on where it is placed.
Square or rectangle - placed on the edge;
Triangle - placed at the corner;
Round shape: placed in the center or at the door;
Hexagonal shape: This shape is not suitable for placement because it has a strong evil spirit;
Semicircle: placed at the edge.
As for the height of the fish tank, you should also pay attention to it. According to the standards of Feng Shui, the highest can only be balanced with the heart, and the lowest can only be balanced with the knees. The effects of being too high or too low on your luck are as follows:
Too high - the water level in the fish tank is higher than the owner's heart, which makes the owner prone to heart disease, unclear thinking, and bad financial luck.
Too low - the water level in the fish tank is lower than the owner's knees, which makes the owner prone to athlete's foot, and lacks the promotion of Feng Shui energy, so the fortune is not auspicious.

4. Goldfish Color

The colors of goldfish can be roughly divided into silver, red and black. Feng Shui believes that silver and red can attract wealth, while black can ward off evil. However, it is not advisable to keep only black fish in the house, because it is easy to attract evil into the house, which not only fails to ward off the evil, but also brings harm.
The best fish species currently available are:
Gold dragon and silver dragon - great for increasing wealth.
Good luck - the fish has a white body and a little red or red pompom on its head, which brings good fortune.
Golden lion head - the whole body is golden, and there is a pompom on the head, which can also bring wealth.

5. Number of Goldfish

1. Popular method. This method is known to everyone, so it is advisable to cultivate nine of them. Literati and poets in ancient times liked to paint pictures of swimming fish, and they all titled them "Jiuru". What are the Nine Likes? According to ancient records, the Book of Songs says: "May Heaven protect and stabilize you, and everything will prosper. Like a rising hill, like a mountain, like a hill, like a river, and everything will increase. Like the constancy of the moon, like the rising of the sun, like the longevity of the southern mountains, which will never collapse. Like the luxuriant pine and cypress, no one will fail to inherit you." There are nine "Ru" characters in this poem, and they are all auspicious words. Because "Ru" (ru) has the same pronunciation as "Yu" (fish), many people paint nine fish and title it "Jiuru" (jiuru) as a lucky hanging painting. From the above, we can see that the best number of fish to raise is nine. But since the fish tank is too small to keep nine fish, you can raise three or six, because three means "endless threes" and six means "infinite sixes".
2. It is determined by the five elements of the owner’s fate, and the generated number is auspicious. The I Ching's numerology believes that: Heaven produces one water, and the earth completes it. The earth produces fire, and the sky completes it. Heaven produces wood with three, and earth completes it with eight. The four of earth produces gold, and the nine of heaven produce gold, which means adding children to the family, and the number of completion means making money and fortune.
One line - one white water, can bring wealth.
Two - the second black earth restrains water, which is not good for wealth.
Three lines - Three green wood leaks water, which is not good for wealth.
Four lines - four green wood. Although it leaks water, four green is the star of literature and is considered auspicious.
Five - The five yellow earths restrain water, which is not good for wealth.
Six - Six white gold produces water, which is good for wealth.
Seven - Seven red gold produces water. Although it is an evil star, it has a mutual generation relationship and is considered auspicious.
Eight - Eight White Earth restrains Water, but Eight White is the Zuo Fu Star and is a lucky star.
Nine lines - Nine Purple Fire, but Youbi Star is a lucky star, which can bring wealth.
If there are more than ten items, remove the integer. For example, if there are twenty items, count them as two, and if there are fifteen items, count them as five.

6. Other matters needing attention

1. Choose a day to install.
When installing for the first time, you must choose an auspicious day. Then you can put the goldfish in the fish tank, fill it with water, start the motor, and cooperate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which will surely bring good luck. An auspicious day for installing a new fish tank can be selected from the days recorded in the almanac, such as Tiande Day, Yuede Day, Tiande He, Yuede He, Tianyi, Tianxi, Suilu, etc., or it can be Chengri, Kairi, Dingri, etc. Do not choose water mark days or dead energy days. You should never choose a day that conflicts with the owner of the house.
2. The goldfish in the fish tank should be kept alive and healthy. If any sick or dead fish are found, they should be replaced or replenished in time. A quick reference table for homeowners raising fish (in fish units).

3. Feng Shui of raising goldfish in an aquarium
If you are a friend who uses an aquarium at home, there is a very important point that is easy to overlook, which is to keep the lid of the aquarium fully or half open. If there is only one small hole for ventilation on the fish tank, then the small hole is the only place for water vapor to rise. How can this feng shui work? Therefore, when raising fish, you must remember that the fish tank must not have a lid, so that it can be called a real pond and can function. Families raise fish for ornamental purposes. Therefore, the aquarium should be placed in a bright place that is easy to see and watch. This will not only meet the goldfish's requirements for light, but also pay attention to the coordination and rational layout of other indoor furnishings.
It is usually best to place the aquarium near a window where it is well ventilated and has sunlight. Pay attention to the stocking density and arrange it reasonably according to the size of the container. It is better to raise fewer fish than more. Because the indoor air is not well circulated, the water will become turbid if you raise too many fish, which can easily cause lack of oxygen and death. If you have an air pump, you can raise more fish. If you find floating head phenomenon, you need to turn on the air pump to add oxygen, especially at night. The bait used in home fish farming is basically the same as that used in production units. Live fish worms are the most ideal, and the water quality is not easy to deteriorate. Dried fish worms and artificial synthetic granular feed can also be used, and the choice can be flexibly made depending on the difficulty of sourcing them.
When raising goldfish in an aquarium, it is very important to keep the water in the aquarium clear. You should frequently use a latex tube to suck out accumulated residue and clean out the feces, leftover bait and turbid water at the bottom of the aquarium. The method is to first place the latex tube on the faucet, fill it with water, and hold one end tightly with both hands to prevent the water in the tube from leaking out. Then put one end of the rubber tube into the aquarium and the other end outside the tank, its position lower than the bottom of the aquarium, with a water container underneath. When you release your hands, water will flow continuously along the latex tube into the water container outside the tank. In addition, one end of the latex tube in the box needs to be extended to the bottom of the box and moved slowly and continuously. Wherever it goes, all dirt will be sucked out of the box until the entire bottom of the box is cleaned. Then wipe the walls of the aquarium with a clean cloth to remove dirt and water stains adsorbed on the glass, and slowly add in new water. If water plants float up or rockery is knocked down during the operation, they must be restored to their original state in time. The entire operation process is completed.
The longer you raise fish, the more sediment accumulates. Even if you clean it every day, you can't clean it all up. If the sediment increases and affects the clarity of the aquarium, you must completely change the water and clean the aquarium to keep the water clear, easy to watch, and maintain a good living environment for the goldfish.
Because of the small size of the rectangular aquarium for home use, you should never keep too many fish in it. It is better to have fewer fish rather than more. For example, in a container that is 40 cm long, 25 cm wide and 30 cm high, you can raise 6 to 8 small goldfish that are 5 to 7 cm long. For example, a round glass tank with a diameter of 26 cm and a height of 13 cm can house 4 to 6 small goldfishes of 4 to 6 cm in size. Adult fish with a body length of more than 8 cm should not be kept in small glass tanks, but should be kept in luxurious large glass tanks or ceramic tanks, and equipped with a small oxygenator as a backup to prevent lack of oxygen. These stocking densities are only reference numbers. They should also be determined based on the water temperature, the strength of the fish and the water quality. They cannot be done mechanically. Generally speaking, the larger the fish, the fewer fish you should raise; you should raise more fish in winter and fewer fish in summer; you can raise more fish when the water temperature is low and fewer fish when the water temperature is high.
Summary: The above content is the Feng Shui encyclopedia about raising goldfish compiled by the editor. The knowledge in it is very comprehensive. If you want to raise goldfish at home, if you master the above points, you will be able to keep the goldfish healthy and lively, colorful, swimming in the water, and being loved by people, making you never tired of watching it and have endless fun. It can also bring you good luck and continuous good fortune!
