For energy enhancement, add an aerator to create bubbles in your aquarium. This will escalate the ‘chi’ energy field at home.

Dark coloured fish such as black are good when accompanied by gold coloured fish, but there should always be more gold than black, e.g. two gold and one black, eight gold and one black. The one black goldfish (black moor) is important as it absorbs the negative energy of the home. Red and purple fish are associated with the fire element. Since fire drains the water, therefore, their effect of boosting the good fortune is weak. Yellow or brown fish is linked with the earth element, its effect of attracting monetary luck is weak.
