Aquarium in Bedroom? No No from feng shui perspective

Aquarium in Bedroom? No No from feng shui perspective

Feng shui experts claim that placing an aquarium in a bedroom is considered bad for several reasons. There are 2 components of feng shui, the bedroom and that of the aquarium.  For the feng shui believers, good feng shui in the bedroom is of paramount importance to one’s health and well-being, i.e., the feng shui energy in the bedroom is directly connected to one’s personal energy. The higher the quality of feng shui energy in the bedroom, the higher the quality of one’s own energy. The feng shui energy in the aquarium is calming, active and powerful, as there is constant water movement. In the aquarium, there is also the added energy of fish and aquarium plant vegetation. ... Read more»

Betta Splendan – fish fact

Betta Splendan – fish fact

My aquarium hobby started in 1977 with Betta (pronounced BET-TUH, not BAY-TUH) Splendens, also known as ‘Siamese Fighting Fish’, discovered originally in its natural habitat of shallow rice patties in Siam. If this fish never fails to amazed its beholders and thrill its audiences, I will seriously wonder why, as it is the truly a very popular freshwater fish.
