Using a Feng Shui Fish Tank

You have probably seen plenty of pieces of Asian and Chinese artwork featuring goldfish or koi carp. There are also Asian water gardens which you can incorporate into your home, including these beautiful fish. Fish are very important when it comes to Asian and Chinese culture.

Therefore, when you consider feng shui, which is both an art and a science, you might be curious as to how you can use a feng shui fish tank in your home. How do you introduce it, and where should you keep it? Are there places you should not include a feng shui fish tank?

Sometimes, in Feng Shui, Small Is Beautiful

A lot of people think wrongly that when you are talking about a feng shui fish tank, you are talking about a huge aquarium which will take up half your living room. This is untrue. The basic feng shui principles encourage simplicity and balance and trying to fit a massive tank into a tiny apartment is only going to make the room feel cluttered which, again, is very anti-feng shui. You should choose a tank which is going to look good in your house and not be too big.

Smaller fish tanks will do the same job, especially if they suit the room they are in and add the element of balance. You can choose from an aquarium and a small fish tank, depending on the space you have available and your preference. You might just want a little fishbowl with a couple of goldfish. If properly maintained and well displayed, this will be just fine.

This might be good news to you if you are on a budget and don’t want to spend a lot of money on a large aquarium, in addition to spending a lot of money to both stock it and maintain it.

Where to Introduce Your Feng Shui Fish Tank

The five elements of wood, fire, water, earth and metal are the basic components of feng shui. These are elements that are meant to complement each other, and neither should overpower a room or a particular area to the detriment of any other. This is where a feng shui fish tank can be especially useful. With a smaller tank or fishbowl, you’ll be accenting the room.

If the room is colored in earth tones, such as tans or browns, you’ll need a water element to bring in balance. If your living room is this type of color scheme, the water element needs to be incorporated here. This is especially helpful if the fish inside are colored brightly, such as fish with yellows, oranges, or other bright hues that will offset the warm earth tones.

However, you also need to make sure that your feng shui fish tank does not distract from another strong element. For example, if a large fireplace dominates your living room, you cannot also have a large aquarium there. This will create two large, strong elements, and they will conflict with each other. Therefore, you will not be harmonized and will be off balance.

So, be careful of where you place your fishbowl and make sure that its a complement to your room and your environment; this will ensure that you are using your feng shui fish tank properly.
