Feng Shui Guide: 8 Golden Rules for Keeping Koi Fish at Home

Koi fish are not only beautiful to look at, but they’re also regarded as powerful symbols of luck, prosperity, and abundance in Feng Shui. However, keeping koi at home isn’t as simple as placing a fish tank anywhere you like. The location, surroundings, and even your personal energy can greatly influence the effect. Today, let’s explore the key Feng Shui do’s and don’ts of keeping koi fish at home so you can enjoy their beauty while attracting positive energy.

1. Avoid Placing Koi Tanks in the Bedroom

A bedroom should be a peaceful and restful space. Since koi tanks involve constant movement and water flow, they can disturb sleep and even create tension between couples.

2. Keep Away from Heat or Fire-Related Items

Water and fire are natural opposites. Placing a koi tank near TVs, stoves, rice cookers, or other electrical appliances can disrupt harmony and negatively affect fortune.

3. Do Not Face the Stove Directly

The stove represents fire energy, while the koi tank represents water. When placed directly opposite, they clash, which may harm health and reduce family harmony.

4. Avoid Placing in “Sha” or Negative Energy Corners

Since water represents movement, a koi tank placed in a negative-energy corner (凶煞位) can activate bad luck and make it worse.

5. Never Place Beneath a Shrine or Altar

An altar for ancestors or deities should always be placed on a stable, respectful surface. Putting a koi tank beneath an altar is considered inauspicious and may invite financial loss.

6. Consider Your Personal Element (Five Elements Balance)

In Feng Shui, a person’s birth chart (BaZi) reveals whether their five elements are balanced.

• If you have too much fire, a koi tank can balance it well.

• If your fire is too weak, adding more water energy through a koi tank can create imbalance and bring misfortune.

7. Placement Rules for Koi Fish Tanks

• Not facing a shrine directly – this is seen as disrespectful and can cause financial issues.

• Not facing the kitchen – water and fire clash, harming health.

• Not too high – placing a tank above head height creates a “pressure overhead” effect.

• Not in a bad energy spot – avoid amplifying harmful energies.

• Not beneath an altar – always keep altars in a dignified position.

8. Other General Don’ts

• Keep fish tanks away from fire-related items like stoves or electronics.

• Don’t place tanks in bedrooms—they disturb rest and relationships.

• Avoid facing tanks directly toward stoves.

• Be mindful of your own elemental balance before raising koi.

Koi fish are among the most auspicious Feng Shui symbols, representing abundance and good fortune. But for them to truly bring positive energy, their placement at home is crucial. By following these guidelines—keeping the tank out of bedrooms, away from fire, and in a respectful position—you can enjoy both the beauty of koi and the prosperity they symbolize.

Feng Shui significance and auspicious power of koi fish:

In Feng Shui, water symbolizes wealth, and the word for "fish" (鱼 yú) sounds like "abundance" (余 yú), making fish a powerful symbol of prosperity and surplus. Keeping fish at home is believed to attract good fortune and improve energy flow. Among them, koi fish have long been regarded as precious and auspicious creatures. Traditionally raised in temple and shrine ponds, koi symbolize luck and wealth. Whether in paintings or decorative motifs, fish often represent koi, which are also known as "wealth-attracting and fortune-enhancing fish", bringing prosperity and protecting the home.

I. Origin of Koi Fish

Koi fish are a colorful breed of carp named for their bright, vivid, brocade-like patterns. Originally from Central Asia, they were introduced to China where imperial artisans selectively bred them, similar to goldfish and fancy carp, to match aesthetic tastes. Later brought to Japan, koi became widely popular and are now considered Japan’s national fish, praised as "living jewels in water" and "the king of ornamental fish."

II. Types of Koi and Their Feng Shui Functions

Koi fish come in many varieties, mainly including Kohaku (red and white), Taisho Sanke (three-color), Tancho (red spot on head), Yamabuki Ogon (golden koi), Karasu (black koi), and Gin Rin (metallic scales).

1. Tancho (Red-Crowned Koi)

Also called the "Official Koi", Tancho symbolizes career advancement and official success in Feng Shui. Its single red spot on the head represents “luck shining on the head” (鸿运当头). The East represents success and growth, so placing Tancho koi in the eastern direction helps boost positive energy.

2. Golden Koi (Yamabuki Ogon)

Golden koi are especially favored by businesspeople. Their body is uniformly golden, with neatly arranged scales that shimmer like real gold. As a symbol of wealth attraction, placing golden koi in shops is as auspicious as worshiping the God of Wealth. Since the west symbolizes money and status, but also lacks metallic energy, placing golden koi in the western direction is a powerful Feng Shui cure for attracting wealth.

3. Taisho Sanke (Three-Color Koi)

This is the most common koi type, with red and black markings on a white base. It’s visually pleasing when swimming and often given as a “gift fish” to newlyweds, symbolizing harmony and lasting happiness. For singles, displaying brightly colored koi at home can enhance romantic luck (peach blossom luck).

4. Kohaku (Red and White Koi)

Named for its white body with red markings, the Kohaku koi swims gracefully, reproduces well, and is known as the longest-living koi variety. It’s also referred to as the “Fortune and Longevity Fish.” Newlyweds are encouraged to place a pair of Kohaku koi ornaments in their bedroom to symbolize a prosperous family and many descendants. It also makes an excellent birthday gift for the elderly, representing health and long life.

5. Black Koi (Karasu)

Karasu is an all-black koi, a mutation species. The northern part of the home, which often lacks sunlight and accumulates yin energy, is ideal for placing a pair of black koi to absorb negative energy. However, fully black koi can carry too much aggressive energy for a household. While they block evil forces, they may also drive away positive energy such as wealth and good fortune, so they must be used with caution. If your pond or tank is large enough, you may still raise them, but you must ensure there are enough red koi to balance the energy.

Feng Shui Taboos for Keeping Koi Fish at Home

When raising koi fish at home, there are certain Feng Shui taboos to be aware of in order to maximize their positive influence and avoid unfavorable effects. So, what are the Feng Shui taboos for keeping koi fish indoors?

1. Koi Fish Should Not Be Kept in the Bedroom

The bedroom is meant to be a peaceful and restful space. The movement of water in a fish tank generates dynamic energy, which can disturb sleep, affect health, and even negatively impact relationships between couples.

2. Avoid Placing Near Fire-Related Items

Fish tanks hold water, and in the Five Elements, water overcomes fire. Therefore, koi tanks should not be placed near items associated with fire, such as televisions, rice cookers, or stoves, as this may bring unfavorable effects to one’s fortune.

3. Avoid Facing the Stove Directly

The stove represents fire. Placing it directly opposite a fish tank can harm both the health of the fish (due to heat) and disrupt the balance of energy, potentially affecting the health of family members.

4. Do Not Place in a Negative Energy Zone

Fish and moving water generate dynamic energy. If placed in an area of negative energy, the tank may amplify and circulate harmful influences within the home.

5. Avoid Positioning Beneath an Altar

Altars should be placed in stable positions. Placing a fish tank beneath an altar is considered inauspicious, as it lacks stability and grounding.

6. Unsuitable for People with Weak Fire Element

Based on one’s birth chart (Ba Zi), people with strong fire elements may benefit from keeping koi fish, as the water balances their energy. However, those with weak fire elements may experience imbalance, leading to greater difficulties in life if they keep koi fish.
