Koi has a high back and a broad body, and is very handsome. According to researchers, koi has a strong and steady personality and is relatively courageous. Unlike other fish that get nervous when frightened, koi has the calm and composed demeanor of a gentleman. Koi can live a long time, up to seventy years old, and is given the auspicious name of "blessing fish". When their owners look at them, they will not hide but will stand up and stick their heads out of the water as if to congratulate, hence the name "blessing fish". Koi can also purify the water environment in which it lives. Its many advantages over other fish make koi a luxurious fish species in the eyes of Chinese people.

There are many types of koi, including red and white koi, three-color koi, red-crowned carp, golden carp, black carp, etc. Among them, the red-crowned carp is known as the "official carp". It can help prosper your career and official career, and is the favorite of many fish lovers. Raising koi is the same as raising other fish. You need to choose the right direction. The red-crowned carp is best placed in the east to replenish energy. The east represents a person's career and official career, so the red-crowned carp is the most suitable.

How many koi are suitable to keep? The most common saying is that nine is best, because in Chinese tradition, nine is the most supreme and yang number, which has a very noble meaning. In Feng Shui, it is said that "three threes are endless, six sixes are infinite". Six red-crowned koi represent "good luck year after year", five red and white koi represent "five blessings", three represent "three sheep bring good luck", and two represent "two dragons playing in the water". You can decide the number of koi according to the size of your own fish pond. One thing to note is that when raising koi, you can only increase the number, not decrease it. Increasing the number will increase your blessings, while decreasing it will shorten your lifespan. If some koi unfortunately die, you must replenish the corresponding number in time to keep the good feng shui from slipping away.

When selecting koi, it is quite particular to choose the leading koi. How to identify whether the koi is suitable to be the leader of the fish school? Simply put, it should have a round head and a broad forehead, and there should be no dark spots on the top of the head. Dark spots indicate defeat. Choosing such a koi as the leader of the fish school is very unfavorable to the family. If you really don’t know what kind of koi is suitable to be the leader, then choose the one with pure head color without other colors mixed in.

If you also like to decorate the fish pond and want the fish to have a scenery that is very close to the real living environment, you can pile up rockery in the fish pond. It is recommended to buy several large stones with strange shapes instead of buying a pile of small stones. When stacking stones, the textures of the stones should be stacked in the same direction. If the built rockery can be decorated with suitable plants, the environment for the fish will be very good. The living environment of the fish is good, the fish grow well, and raising fish well is naturally beneficial to improving the fortune of the family.
