✅ General Do's & Don'ts

Do keep the water moving and clean — stagnant or dirty water is considered to stagnate the energy it represents.
Do favor rounded or oval tank shapes over sharp-cornered rectangular ones where possible.
Do replace any fish that dies promptly — in folklore this is sometimes read as the fish having "absorbed" misfortune on your behalf.
Don't place an aquarium directly behind where you sit at your desk (unsupported "backing").
Don't let the water feature or aquarium sit empty, broken, or unmaintained — neglected water is considered worse than no water feature at all.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 8 goldfish + 1 black fish rule?

A classic feng shui guideline recommends 9 fish total in a wealth-focused aquarium — 8 gold or red fish (representing prosperity) plus 1 black fish (traditionally believed to absorb negative energy or misfortune on behalf of the household).

Why avoid an aquarium in the bedroom or kitchen?

Bedrooms are associated with rest and calm, which the constant motion and equipment noise of an aquarium can disrupt. Kitchens are governed by the fire element (the stove), and water is believed to clash with fire — both are commonly cited reasons to place aquariums elsewhere in the home.

Is this different from the Wealth Corner Activations Planner?

Yes. The Wealth Corner Activations Planner covers general wealth-corner activation methods across many objects. This guide focuses specifically on aquariums and water features — fish count, tank shape, and room-by-room placement guidance for that one category of feng shui object.
