Traditionally, the North of the house `belongs' to the Water Element and placing a "water element" at the North wall is favourable. You can continue to place the fish tank in that area.
In addition to this:-
1. Do take note that this area should not be a bedroom but instead the living room or other utility room.
2. The fish tank MUST not be at the centre of the house. As Water in the middle of the house means that one will be `burned' with problems as water in the ancient book of I-ching (or Book of Changes) means " difficulty. "
3. Between a fish tank or a fountain or water fall, a fountain is preferred than say a fish tank. This is because a fish tank is usually used more as a `cure' for sha or `poison arrow'. While a fountain is considered to provide favourable "beneifical Qi." Another point considered unfavourable by many Feng Shui Masters is that:-
(a). What happens when the fish or tortise dies?
(b). The need to do maintenance of the fish tank. For example, these Masters say when you pour " water " away from the fish tank, you are actually pouring away wealth.
4. I mentioned earlier in a few messages in the forum that in general, Hong Kong Feng Shui Masters/practioners usually advise the placement of fish tanks to counteract `bad sha'. For example, outside the main entrance window, there is a lone lamp post. As a lone lamp post is symbolic of the fire element; under the " ../fs/5element.htm " The Destructive Cycle of the 5 elements, Water element destroys Fire. Therefore, you can now know why the FS Master ask the house owner to place a fish tank (Water element) at that particular location and usually of " black coloured " goldfish.
I do not intend to `scare' you or discourage you from rearing fishes but the above are `real' issues that many Feng Shui Masters.
From my own personal experience, I did once own a fish tank. Had bought alot of goldfish and many varieties of them. (More as a hobby than as a Feng Shui cure). I found that most of the goldfishes do not last more than 9 months.. maybe I am lousy at rearing the fishes but I found they have " shorter " lifespan.
Currently, I do have a pond of koi fishes and they are not only `loving' i.e. when it is time for food, they will come up to you to feed from your hands. OK enough of this!
In fact, I had written a short article on " Fountains / waterfalls and fish tank ". For those who have not read it here is the URL:Click here

User's Comments After browsing many many feng shui sites, I came to one conclusion: your site is the most sensible, reasonable and helpful one of all. I've been to sites where they want to sell you just about anything and everything. The information they are willing to give is so trivial and one senses that the only thing they are interested in is to make money and sell you products that might and might not fit in with your decor or your culture, and of course doesn't serve the purpose of curing and or enhancing. Sorry for the long message, but I have a friend who spent a fortune buying all types of figurines to cure then to enhance and then eventually all she got was more figures on her credit card and no luck! I believe that what one should do is get your advise first because it makes so much sense and it is always sincere. I also believe that people should buy things that pleases their eye and provide a sense of beauty and balance. Again sorry for the long message and thank you for a wonderful site. Luna Ghobar, 10 March 2003 Students new to Feng Shui can learn more on their own, with the help of a few good books and this website, than many "practitioners" can teach them.
