Using a Feng Shui Fish Tank

Author: KyleRichey Total views: 5 Word Count: 530

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.

So when employing the art and science of feng shui, many may wonder how they can use a feng shui fish tank in their own home. How is it introduced, and where should it be kept? And are there places where it should not be used as well?

Sometimes, in Feng Shui, Small Is Beautiful

If you think that a feng shui fish tank must necessarily be large, that's not really true. What feng shui wishes to incorporate is balance and simplicity. This means that if you try to incorporate a large fish tank into a small home or room, this will only lead to a more cluttered feeling, which is against feng shui principles.

Instead, for a small space, a small feng shui aquarium is just fine, especially when it's perfectly balanced to the room itself. In addition, a feng shui fish tank doesn't even need to be an aquarium, necessarily. A simple small fishbowl with just a goldfish or two will do the job nicely as long as it's properly displayed and maintained.

This is probably good news to those who are on a budget and dont want to spend the hundreds of dollars necessary to purchase a large aquarium and then stock and maintain it.

Where to Place Your Feng Shui Fish Tank

You are probably already familiar with the five elements, namely, wood, water, fire, earth and metal, that are the embodiment of feng shui. These elements are meant to complement one another and keep any one from overpowering a room or any particular area. This is where your feng shui fish tank comes into play. No doubt if you have a smaller tank or fishbowl, you will be using it as an accent to a 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.

It is a bad idea for your feng shui fish tank to have to compete with a stronger element. If you have a large fireplace in your family room, you shouldn't have a large aquarium in the same room. These elements are both strong and will conflict with one another, resulting in a lack of harmony and balance. In this case, you can either choose a smaller fish tank or place a large aquarium in another room where it is not competing against anything.

Therefore, you have to be careful where you place your fishbowl. You also need to make sure that it will complement your environment and your room. This will help ensure that you are using your feng shui fish tank in the way it should be used.
