Keeping Fish in Office Chair Area
Keeping fish in the office chair area is not a reasonable practice. It is not recommended to place the fish tank directly near the office chair, especially behind it or at an excessively high position. The following provides specific explanations and suggestions from both Feng Shui and practical perspectives:
From the perspective of Feng Shui, there are many considerations regarding the placement of a fish tank. It is not advisable to place the fish tank behind the office chair. In Feng Shui theory, the area behind the office chair requires stable Qi (energy) support, while the water in the fish tank is fluid, which can lead to unstable Qi and affect career luck, potentially even leading to bankruptcy. The best placement positions include the corner diagonally opposite the entrance (the bright wealth position), which is conducive to gathering wealth energy; the east or southeast directions. The east belongs to the wood element, and water nourishes wood, helping to enhance luck, while the southeast is also beneficial for wealth; the left side of the office desk (the Green Dragon position). The Green Dragon position belongs to the yang aspect, and placing a fish tank there can stimulate the Qi field and activate vitality.
The height of the fish tank is also crucial. The water level should not be higher than the top of a normal person's head, especially for the boss's chair position. Excessive height can suppress luck, making one feelๅๆ at work and affecting decision-making and judgment abilities. It should also not be placed directly on the ground. The best height is between the knees and the chest. This height not only conforms to Feng Shui principles but also facilitates viewing and maintenance.
There are also requirements for the number and color of fish kept in the office. When keeping fish in an office, odd numbers are preferred because odd numbers belong to the yang aspect and can stimulate the Qi field and activate vitality. It is recommended to keep 1, 3, 5, or 6, 9 fish. Among them, 6 and 9 are beneficial for water in the Five Elements and can enhance wealth. Regarding the color of fish, red and gold fish (such as red dragons and goldfish) can boost regular income and are suitable for those who hope for steady career development. Black and dark-blue fish (such as black mollies) can boost side income and ward off negative energy, suitable for those engaged in risk investment industries.
Water quality management is also not to be overlooked. The most taboo things in fish keeping are dead fish and turbid water. Regular water changes are necessary to maintain clear water quality so that wealth energy can flow. If the water is turbid, it not only affects the viewing experience but also breeds bacteria, which is harmful to the health of the fish and can also disrupt the Qi field in the office.
