fiamma Posted June 2, 1999 Share Posted June 2, 1999 I have an aquarium with Goldfish in the health and family area of my living room, which is on the west of my apartment. I have this crazy idea of having tropical fish instead of Goldfish, but I'm afraid something might change. I am craving the speed and color of this tropical fish.I also have a small aquarium in the Wealth area of my home office, which is in the north west side, and I have tropicals there.What would you recommend I do?I am doing fairly well in my business, although I could be doing better. My social life stinks, so does the romance department. (Just so you know)Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Posted June 2, 1999 Share Posted June 2, 1999 Dear Rebeca,There are a few considerations for a fish tank:-1. Currently there are two methods at looking at the number of fishes to`rear'.Method 1:========The most common method is based on general good numbers of fish i.e. fishesshould be numbering e.g. 5, 6, 8. (9 is still acceptable).Method 2:========The other method is based on your kua number ie. if your kua is Li or South,you should rear 9 fishes. If your Kua number is Kan (North), you should rear1 fish, if your Kua number is Chen or East, then you should rear 3 fishes.Ideally, this is based on the breadwinner's Kua number2. A good guideline is to take note of the colour of the stand you areusing.For example at the North wall, it is adviseable to use a stand that isBlack in colour or blue or grey.For the East, the stand can be brown or dark green or green.Use the colours at http://www.geomancy.net/fs/colours.htm as a guide.3. The shape of the fish tank is important. The best shapes are rectangularor round. Avoid a square tank or a triangle tank.In your case, it would be best to follow the guide above i.e. use method 1in rearing the number of fishes.There are two other considerations as your fish tank is at the West:1. The element at the West location is Metal.2. Under the Five elements concept : Metal enhances Water element.3. West is a Yin location.4. Too much water will create an imbalance as it is considered too YIN. Butfortunately not to worry unless it is (estimated) to be greater than 33.3percent of the entire volume or floor area of the room (depending on whichcomes first).Avoid having a large fish tank at this location. A regular 2 feet fish tankwould do.I am unable to fully advise you further because gold fishes especially, Redor orange .. to pink ones are consider more of a Fire element and this helpsto balance the `situation'. If you rear other coloured fishes e.g. blackor dull colours, it would be of the Metal element and further enhance thewater element . Metal enhances Water.Silvery fishes such as some tropical fishes are considered of the Metalelement and this may further enhance the water element.However, at this point, you may have to use Trial and Error Feng Shui ie.First, based on your intutition and monitior the fishes. A tell tale sign isif the fishes continue to be healthy then all is fine if they die quickly,then is is a bad `omen'.Warmest Regards,Cecil-----Original Message-----From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'free-advice' suppressed suppressed>Date: Wednesday, June 02, 1999 1:29 PMSubject: Gold Fish-Tropical Quote From: "Rebeca Rambal" This message is sent from "free-advice" Mailing List.I have an aquarium with Goldfish in the health and family area of my livingroom, which is on the west of my apartment.
