The Importance of the Feng Shui Fish Tank Location
A feng shui fish tank should never be placed in a bedroom, the kitchen, or in the center of the house. Both the bedroom and the kitchen are yin (passive) areas and a fish tank is very yang (aggressive). Since it is a room for rest, placing a fish tank in the bedroom would create too much yang energy from the fish swimming around the tank, causing a very restless sleep. Placing the tank in the kitchen also overstimulates the yang chi energy, causing excessive eating. The center of the house is a bad location for a fish tank because according to the Book of Changes, water in the middle of the house means you will suffer from many problems and difficulties.
