1. Blood Parrot
The blood parrot is a kind of yin and yang fish, just like the so-called liger and mule, it has no ability to reproduce the next generation. Don't get excited if you see it laying eggs, as there is absolutely no chance of them hatching. This is a new fish produced in Taiwan by mating the red manta ray and the purple firemouth introduced from South America. This kind of breeding technology cannot be fully learned abroad so far. Only Taiwan can cultivate such fish species. Due to its flame-like appearance, bright red color, and elegant posture, it has quickly become the number one brand of feng shui fish in Taiwan!
The average lifespan of a blood parrot is about seven years and can grow to about 20 centimeters. The biggest disadvantage is that it is afraid of cold, so be sure to install a thermostat in the fish tank to maintain the temperature at 28-30 degrees Celsius.
2. Goldfish
Goldfish is an ornamental fish species that was continuously improved from carp during the Song Dynasty in China. It is also called the national treasure fish. Today, there are many types of goldfish, and it is difficult to identify their species. There are more than a hundred species on display at the Goldfish Museum in Hong Kong's Ocean Park.
The more popular varieties include bubble eyes, red peony, black pearl, teapot, etc. Goldfish symbolizes attracting wealth, happiness and longevity. Very popular among fish lovers. The biggest problem is that they are prone to fish scale diseases, which requires special attention.
3. Koi fish
Koi carp have been raised in China for a longer time than goldfish, but as the main ornamental fish and even Feng Shui fish, koi carp has flourished in Japan. Koi has always been regarded as a spiritual fish that can bring prosperity to the family. However, due to limited breeding space, there are not many families raising Feng Shui fish like koi, mainly enterprises and institutions.
IV. Red Dragon and Silver Belt
The red dragon is the best fish in Feng Shui. In the Chinese society, this fish native to Indonesia is believed to have the ability to eliminate disasters. The advantage of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune is that it can even physically take the place of the owner to suffer the disaster, so that the owner can avoid bad luck.
Red dragons were once regarded as food fish by local people in Indonesia because of their large numbers in the early days. Later, it became famous as a feng shui fish, but overfishing was very serious because of this. Now it is regarded as a protected animal and public trading and breeding are prohibited. At present, Singapore and Indonesia have cooperated to develop artificial breeding and breeding methods, so larvae can be purchased at high prices under listed conditions.
If you can’t afford the expensive red arowana, Silver Belt is another alternative. The price of a pair of silver-banded fish from Australia is about 8,000 yuan. Because the whole body is covered with silver, it is regarded as a symbol of wealth, and the swimming style is as domineering as the red dragon, which is very popular among business people.
