在家中养鱼，不仅能为我们带来观赏的乐趣，还能从风水的角度出发，起到接气化煞的作用，让居室充满生机与活力。那么，在选择和摆放鱼缸时，我们又该如何呢？

首先，鱼缸的形状应选择长方形或圆形，而不规则、三角形等奇怪形状是不推荐使用的。此外，鱼缸 shouldn't be placed too high, as it may interfere with the flow of chi in the home. Ideally, the top of the tank should not exceed the height of a person's heart, and it should also avoid being placed too low, lest it create a "dead" or stagnant energy.

In terms of fish selection, delicate and rare species are not recommended for beginners. It's important to maintain good water quality in the tank by regular cleaning and water changes. The direction of circulation and movement within the tank should also be considered; ideally, they should flow towards the interior of the home rather than outwards.

Some individuals born under certain astrological signs may benefit from keeping fish as an auspicious practice to enhance their fortunes. However, those who are advised against having excessive water in their lives might want to reconsider this option.

It's worth noting that placing a fish tank behind a sofa is generally discouraged from a Feng Shui perspective, as water can represent instability or unpredictability. Instead, positioning it alongside or near seating areas is more advisable.

Furthermore, care must be taken when placing fish tanks near stoves or other sources of fire; these elements do not mix well together according to Feng Shui principles. Additionally, tanks shouldn't be positioned directly below altars or shrines dedicated to deities (神位), nor next to areas reserved for wealth accumulation (财神).

By following these guidelines and considering both aesthetics and Feng Shui principles while nurturing our aquatic friends at home will lead us on our path towards harmony and prosperity!
