Water in the tank is considered one of the best magnets of wealth and prosperity in the household. It signifies the flow of life, health, wealth and prosperity.
Water is considered one of the five important elements of Feng Shui that also include wood, metal, earth and fire. Aside from water, the other elements are represented by driftwood and plants (wood) and rocks or tank accessories made of metal (metal). Aquarium substrate (rocks and/or gravel) also represents the earth element while the fire element is found in the bright colours of its aquatic inhabitants. Your choice of fish species can enhance the energy benefits which are attracted by the water in the tank. Red or orange-coloured fishes are believed to bring in the fire element.
