In the view of the five elements, Water conquers Fire. However, because the fish tank belongs to the Water element, many people believe that those who have the Fire element should avoid keeping ornamental fish tanks to avoid conflicting taboos. However, in reality, many people who do not follow these taboos still keep ornamental fish tanks according to their preferences. Therefore, the view of conflicting taboos is only relative. Moreover, although the water in the fish tank belongs to the Water element, each type of fish has colors that symbolize different elements to harmonize with those who have the Fire element.
Therefore, if you are a fish lover and have the Fire element, you can still satisfy your passion and should choose an ornamental fish tank that is compatible with your destiny:
Choose fish with suitable colors: According to the five elements, Fire produces Earth. Therefore, those with the Fire element should choose to raise fish with colors belonging to the Earth element, such as goldfish, dragon fish, koi fish, etc. These fish will help supplement the Earth energy for those with the Fire element, balance the Yin and Yang, and bring luck and wealth. Those with the Fire element should avoid fish with colors belonging to the Water or Metal elements, which are white, blue, black, and silver.
Choose a suitable location for the fish tank: Those with the Fire element should place the fish tank according to their destiny to increase their energy, and that is in the South, Southwest, or Northeast direction.
Care for the fish carefully: When raising ornamental fish, you should learn how to take care of them to avoid fish death. Healthy fish that reproduce will bring more luck and fortune according to Feng Shui.
Some suitable types of ornamental fish for those with the Fire element are:
Goldfish: Goldfish are very popular in the ornamental fish world and are also suitable for those with the Fire element. This fish species is also a symbol of luck, wealth, and prosperity.
Discus fish: Discus fish have a round shape, eye-catching colors, especially red and orange. Discus fish symbolize fulfillment, happiness, and help bring harmony and joy to families with the Fire element.
Dragon fish: This is a rare and expensive ornamental fish species, known as the “king of ornamental fish”. Dragon fish has a long body, vibrant colors, and is considered a symbol of power, luck, and prosperity.
The Red Arowana: The Red Arowana has a small body, vibrant colors, especially red. The Red Arowana represents luck, wealth, and helps those with the Fire element have many advantages in life.
Koi fish: Koi carp is a popular ornamental fish species because of its unique beauty and good Feng Shui meaning. Koi carp has many different colors, of which red, orange, and yellow are the most suitable colors for those with the Fire element. Koi carp symbolizes perseverance, overcoming difficulties, and helps those with the Fire element achieve success in life.
How many fish should those with the Fire element choose for the fish tank?
According to the five elements, those with the Fire element correspond to the number 3, 4, and 9, and these numbers conflict with the number 1.
Number 3: belongs to the Wood element, Wood produces Fire, meaning birth, development.
Number 4: belongs to the Fire element, the same element as the destiny, meaning support and complementation.
Number 9: belongs to the Fire element, meaning eternity and durability.
Number 1 belongs to the Water element, Water conquers Fire, meaning disadvantage and obstruction.

Good placement for the fish tank for those with the Fire element
According to the five elements, Water conquers Fire, so those with the Fire element need to pay attention to the placement of the fish tank. According to Feng Shui, the directions for placing the fish tank for those with the Fire element are the South, Southwest, and Northeast. Therefore, these directions are the best choices for placing the fish tank for those with the Fire element.
