Feng Shui Lucky Number of GoldFish in a Tank
Very interesting articles for sharingMost feng shui practitioners agree that the number nine is the most auspicious number, so its no wonder that this is the favored number of fish for your tank or aquarium. The number nine is the number for prosperity, which symbolizes your wealth having a long life span.
Combination of Nine Fish
The best combination of nine fish in an aquarium is eight goldfish or Arrowana fish and one black-colored goldfish (black moor).
With the combination of eight red and one black fish, the fish symbolize prosperity, energy and good fortune. The number eight is the major prosperity number for feng shui practices.
Purpose of One Black Fish
The one black goldfish is most important since its purpose is to absorb any negative energy that enters your home. The black goldfish therefore becomes a symbol of protection. If the black fish dies without any known cause, such as under-oxygenated water, overfeeding or lack of food, it is believed that the fish died from absorbing bad luck that was meant for you. In fact, many people believe that if any fish in the tank dies without a justifiable cause, then its sacrifice was to spare you the bad luck that was headed your way.
You want to always remove a dead fish from the tank immediately and replace it as soon as possible. There are many practitioners of feng shui who give their dead fish a nice burial and say prayers or mantras for them. Its common knowledge that black fish die more often than the goldfish; there are some biological explanations, such as the moor has poorer vision and cannot compete fairly for the food.
you can have any of the following number of fish in an aquarium to attract the energies ascribed to each number:
One: New beginnings
Three: Growth and development
Six: Mentor luck
Eight: Money and abundance
Nine: Long life, considered the luckiest number
Any multiples of three (333, 888, etc.): Triples luck of number
According to Feng shui principles, adding an aquarium to your home or office is an excellent way to attract auspicious chi into your space, especially for good luck, abundance and prosperity. It is extremely important that a feng shui aquarium:
Is always clean
Has circulating oxygenated water
Is properly maintained
Has an interesting environment for the fish
Has a balance of the five elements of feng shui: Water, wood, fire, earth and metal.; elements can be symbolic
Is filled with happy fish living in a clean tank that are fed correctly, are healthy, and circulate positive energy
The most important rule for an aquarium is to keep the water clean. If the water becomes stagnant or dirty, the fish will not be healthy or happy. This type of unkempt aquarium attracts negative energy (sha chi) that can impact all areas of your life especially your wealth sector.
Bad practise
A fish tank should never be placed in a bedroom, the kitchen, or in the center of the house. Both the bedroom and the kitchen are yin (passive) areas and a fish tank is very yang (aggressive). Since the bedroom is a room for rest, placing a fish tank there would create too much yang energy from the fish swimming around the tank. This would cause a very restless sleep. Placing the tank in the kitchen would also stimulate the yang chi energy too much, causing you to eat excessively. The center of the house is not a good location for a fish tank, either since according to the Book of Changes, water in the middle of the house means you will have a lot of problems and difficulties.
