I have read books saying 9 is the lucky number for gold fishes but recently have read that the number of fishes to be in an aquarium depends on one's gua number.need enlightenment pls and am very greatful for all your responses and help to all who needed your advice. again, thank you so much and good luck!

1. You can check out this link:-

2. For example, if you have the time you may like to read articles Q3 and Q9 on the "Gua" and the "Ba Zi method.

3. Another traditional method is based on the Flying Star. Where :-

7 number of gold fishes represents metal element. And a black gold fish is added (to represent water). Thus in the past, a practitioner may advise an owner to rear 7 gold fishes + 1 black (symbolises water element) fish.

Alternatively 6 number of gold fishes also represents (big ) metal element. And it is equally acceptable to use 6 gold + 1 black.
