Dear Kenneth,

In the past, I had actually written quite alot of guidelines and practises on the number of fishes and even the type of stand used a various locations.

In general, one School of thought (Flying Star) use the numbers:

7 gold fishes represent metal element and

1 black gold fish represents water element.

Thus often, one recommendation could be: 7 gold and 1 black.

Since the probability of one of the 7 gold fish(es) dying is much greater than say 1 black, then even if the 7 gold fishes are or were reduced to 6, 6 still represents big metal.

Hence, under the productive cycle, metal supports water.

Well, frankly, the above talks often only about gold fishes or koi fishes (carps), it is rather ambigious on other types of fishes. Here, after reading this, it does not mean that you should feed "the cat" with the remaining i.e. 19 - 12 (TWELEVE) fishes nor is it advisable to turn them into "sardines" for that sandwich.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
