1. Taboos on the shape of fish pond
The shape of the courtyard fish pond also has certain Feng Shui requirements. It is best to have a semicircle or similar shape, but a square is also acceptable. There has been a tradition since ancient times that if there is a semi-circular pool in front of the house and the round side faces forward, it can attract wealth. Remember that the garden fish pond cannot be made into a messy shape, such as a gourd-shaped or sharp-angled shape. These shapes will not only affect your wealth, but also give people a bad visual effect.
2. Taboos about the location of the fish pond
Building a fish pond in the courtyard and raising koi carp in the pond is a very good way to gather wealth in terms of Chinese Feng Shui. Therefore, the location of the fish pond is very important. In Feng Shui, the west side of the courtyard is the most suitable for building fish ponds, while the middle and north of the courtyard are the most taboo to build fish ponds. In Western Feng Shui, metal belongs to gold, and metal generates water, which itself is a way to make money. If you keep a few koi swimming in the fish pond, you will make more money.
3. Fish pond size taboos
When building a fish pond, you must consider how many koi you want to raise. The density of the water and koi must be controlled well. Don't make it too small, otherwise the koi will be very crowded to survive. If conditions permit, the fish pond can be built slightly larger, so that the living space of the fish will be wider.
4. Taboos about the depth of fish ponds
Generally speaking, it is better to build shallower fish ponds than deeper ones. If the fish pond is bottomless, it is not only particularly dangerous for children, but also very difficult to maintain. It is especially easy to harbor dirt and evil people and practices, and is not good for the health of the fish. When building a fish pond, it is best to be able to see the bottom at a glance and the center of the pond is slightly raised. This can increase the wealth of the residents. Although it is not easy to build a fish pond too deep, the water level in the courtyard pool should not be too low and should be kept at least eighty percent full.
5. Taboos on the number of fish ponds
There should not be too many fish ponds in a courtyard, especially if the courtyard area is not large enough, one pond is enough. It is very taboo in Feng Shui to build two pools in the courtyard, because two pools are like the word "cry", which can easily lead to disaster.
6. Taboos about the last number of koi fish
When raising fish in the courtyard, special attention must be paid to the number of fish. Generally speaking, nine tails are the best, which means good luck. Year after year. The five-tailed koi represents five blessings. In addition, there are also the sayings of three Yangs and two dragons playing with pearls. When raising koi, the best number is 2, 3, 5, 6, or 9. And the number can only be increased but not decreased. If a koi dies, it must be replenished in time.
7. Taboos about fish pond water quality
When raising koi, the requirements for the water quality in the pond are also very high, but the fish pond environment where many koi live is not special. Well, the water is green and black and has a strange smell from time to time. This is obviously not possible, because this situation is very detrimental to the growth of koi. Only if the water quality of the fish pond is good can the koi carp survive.
8. Taboos about the water quality of fish ponds
The water quality of fish ponds refers to whether the water is living water or stagnant water. We all know that stagnant water is not suitable for fish farming, so how can we have living water in the courtyard? In fact, it is very simple to make the fish pond water live. You only need to raise a few koi carp. With koi, the water in the fish pond will have aura, and the fish pond will have a soul and become more vibrant.
