Suggestions on Setting-Up an Aquarium at Home to Get Feng Shui Benefits

Aquariums are one of the important features of the feng shui cure. They are supposed to attract wealth in abundance. If the location of the aquarium is correct and if good care is taken of it, it will improve the energy levels in any environment.

Aquariums are always considered auspicious in feng shui because they consist of a combination of many factors attracting wealth.  They represent a perfect balance of five important elements of feng shui.

The fire element, representing the lighting in the aquarium and golden, orange and red fish, is considered very important in feng shui.  The water element represents the water contents of the aquarium. The wood element represents natural plants in the fish tank.  The metal element represents the overall structure of the aquarium while the earth element represents the rocks and gravel placed at its bottom.

Now let us consider the most appropriate area for placing your aquarium.  If you set it up in the Southeast area, it is most desirable one.  It is considered as the area for abundance and wealth.  If it is not possible, you can place it in the north area, which is considered good for your career.

If both of these areas are not available in your house, you can set it up anywhere else but you should never put it in the bedroom or in kitchen.  Bold these areas are considered bad as they will bring in unwanted energies.

According to the principles of feng shui, Koi fish and goldfish are considered to be the best choices for your aquarium. There is no specific guideline indicating the number of fish you can keep but 8 is considered to be a good number.  Goldfish will usually be in golden yellow color but take care to see that at least one of the fish should be in black color.

Now let us turn to the guidelines on the shape of your aquarium.  If you are able to set it up at the Southwest, which is the best choice, you should select a square or rectangular aquarium.  If you are planning to set it up at the north, you can go for the round shape.

You can set up your aquarium on any of these two areas.  However, to get the best out of it, you should always keep it clean and beautiful.  You should regularly spend some time for its maintenance.  The water should be properly oxygenated to keep the fish healthy.  The lighting should give the aquarium a vibrant look.  All these things will send you a lot of positive energy and help in generating wealth in addition to the pleasure you will get by looking at the fish.
