Hi,

Symbolism in Feng Shui is very important. Even if it is not a real object, symbolism is a powerful `tool'.

For example, when we mention `blue roof'. If one is not Feng Shui aware some may ask this question what has blue got to do with water?

Here, if we are Feng Shui " aware " we will link Water = Blue.

Equally, if we have a wooden object shaped like a pyramid. Do we consider it wood = Wood element or because it is pyramid shaped it represents Fire element?

In most cases symbolic takes precedence over the material. For the above example, the pyramid shaped object be it made of metal, glass etc.. should be considered a Fire element.

Coming to the artificial fish tank, it should still be considered = Water element.

I do not want to " confuse " anyone further at this point as there are usually two or more elements in a water tank:

1. the " water " in the tank represents Water element.

2. What about the fish?

- Many fishes e.g. carp, koi and gold fish are considered to be under the Metal element.

Here, if you have a poison arrow aimed at a window, a fish tank with water and metal can be used to `counter act' e.g. the poision arrow.

- Colour also is another consideration i.e. black gold fish represents (Black = Water) and is suppose to increase the strength of Water.

If you are starting to be confused by now, I can quite understand.

In life, we should not be ruled or be dictated by " taboos ". If you look closely, Feng Shui is really not about taboos etc..

FS is about enhancing beneifical qi or neutralising poison arrows especially in relation to the immediate exterior of the house and the interior Qi.

Here, we should continue to `enjoy' life and let us not worry about `mundane' or `little' things such as where to place these objects.

Usually go with your heart. It is not like you are going to place 3 or 4 of the same objects all over the house.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
