Keeping Feng Shui Koi Fish: Eight Things to Pay Attention to

Introduction: Some people feel that Feng Shui is mysterious and believe it is something unreliable. I have been raising Koi for many years and didn’t believe in it. However, over the years, none of the fish I moved from the tank to the southwest corner of the balcony could survive for more than a month! Unless there were three of them. In fact, the principles of Feng Shui are very simple and plain: if you feel your home is comfortable, everything looks pleasing to the eye, you feel attached to it, and things go smoothly for you, then in most cases the Feng Shui of everything in your home is correct. What are the Feng Shui issues when raising fish at home? Let’s take a look at it from the perspective of fish tank Feng Shui.

1. How to find the wealth position

The greatest function of Feng Shui fish is to bring wealth and fortune, and secondly to ward off evil spirits. Whether in the office or at home, to place a Feng Shui fish tank, the first step is to find the right location. Only by placing it in the right position can the fish tank be elevated to the level of fortune, rather than just having the single effect of beautifying the environment. The bright wealth position in the home is generally in a diagonal position. No matter which direction the door is opened, the diagonal line after opening the door is generally believed to be the bright wealth position in the house. If the fish tank is placed here, it can be seen as soon as the door is opened. It is visually eye-catching and can also play a role in improving wealth.

2. How many fish should I keep?

Of course, the number of fish you raise is closely related to the size of the fish tank. The fish breeder should consider that a too crowded space will make it difficult for the fish to survive. In addition, according to the theory of mutual generation and mutual restraint of the Eight Trigrams in the Book of Changes, the best numbers of fish are 3, 6, 7, 9, 13, 17, 18, 19, and 21. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

3. Have a good head

For koi, having a good head is the most important thing. This is not only true for a fish, but also for a person, a family, a group, a nation, and a country! What should a good head look like? Simply put, it is a round head with a broad forehead. If you think it is abstract, just look at the pictures of some good fish in the forum. Special attention should be paid to the fact that there must be no dark spots on the top of the head. Dark spots indicate failure. When a person and a family are living in peace and harmony, it is a big taboo to bring such a fish into the house. Even if we don't talk about Feng Shui, you can try staring at a fish with dark spots on its head, you will feel uncomfortable, and this is the role of the evil spirit contained therein. For the Taisho and Showa tricolors, if the black is completely black and must be intertwined with the red, that is another matter and is not included in this discussion.

4. About the color of fish

When raising carp at home, the main color should be red, the bright red and the clear white, and it is best to look happy. Among them, the red-crowned carp is the best, and red, white, gold, and silver are supplementary. Some people think that all black can ward off evil, but they don’t know that all black is too murderous for the home environment. Although the evil spirits are killed, the auspiciousness, wealth, blessings, luck... all the good energy is gone, and it is like a tiger coming down the mountain, chickens flying, dogs running, and all beasts fleeing. Of course, a large pond or tank can be used to raise carp, but the red fish must be numerous enough to suppress it. Or if there are no beasts in the mountains, fighting ghosts is another matter. So you should choose the three good colors, which have the dragon and phoenix intertwined, which can drive away the evil spirit and bring about the miraculous effect of a hundred auspicious things. This is also the reason why good tricolor is particularly valuable.

5. The difference between Koi and Goldfish

Koi and goldfish are both Feng Shui fish, but there are still big differences between them. The advantage of goldfish is that their genetics are relatively stable, their colors are rich, their expressions are peaceful, and it is relatively easy to find the varieties you need on the market at a low price. The disadvantage is that they are greedy and not long-lived. After four or five years, they become old and frail and are too weak. There is no way they can be masculine or vigorous. Just when they have developed feelings for the fish, they have to face the scene of aging again… The advantage of koi is that they combine masculinity and auspiciousness into one. They are sociable and active, and have the same lifespan as turtles. They are long-lived animals. In Japan, three generations often raise the same fish, which can bring auspiciousness and vitality to the home. The disadvantage is that the inheritance of quality and color is unstable. No two fish are the same even though they have the same parents. Moreover, there are too few good ones and too many bad ones. Even if a good fish is not too expensive, it will still be a lot of trouble to find it! If the quality is not good, it will have a counterproductive effect.

6. The correct orientation of fish breeding

There are several things you must remember when installing a Feng Shui fish: 1. The Feng Shui fish should not be directly opposite the statue of the deity. 2. The fish tank should not be facing the kitchen stove. 3. Feng Shui fish should not be placed too high (not higher than a person's head), and the water should not be above the chest, otherwise it will cause disasters and diseases.

7. What should I do if the fish dies?

Some people believe that if fish die, it means they have warded off evil spirits for you, but in fact there are many situations. One is that you know how the fish died. No matter what, killing the fish is absolutely a big taboo in feng shui. The owner must immediately fish out the dead fish and replace them with new ones, but this situation has little impact on the home and the owner. Another situation is that the cause of death is unknown. This is often a sign that the owner must be extra careful within a month, and comprehensively review all aspects of career and safety (personal, financial, material, social, travel, etc.), and pay more attention to safety in daily life to fill in the gaps and defects. A friend of mine encountered this kind of thing last year. At the beginning of last year, I gave him a top-quality red crown fish that was only 5 cm long. Three months later, he told me that the red crown fish suddenly died, and he couldn't find out the reason no matter what he did. There was no sign of any disease. The tank, water, food, and fish had not been touched. The other fish were all very healthy. As a result, within ten days, his business went into trouble. He went from buying houses and cars to borrowing money everywhere, and the cause of the accident was avoidable.

8. What should I do if I don’t want to keep the pet for various reasons?

This is a situation that often happens. Some people give fish to others, but from the perspective of Feng Shui, fish ("surplus") are not given away. It is best to choose a good environment to release them. "Life" has countless meanings and is the most powerful force in the universe. "Life" means "change". Releasing life is "good", that is, "living" in the direction of "good". Therefore, since ancient times, when a person has a strong desire or a big trouble, he will go to visit Buddha and release life. When releasing life, it is best if your mind, body and thoughts can enter a state where you can feel the power and revelation given to you from the depths of the universe!
