hello to all, my house is small; no entrance hall just walk in, to the left a small wall, then entrance to bedroom. Where can I place my fish tank, and can I place the wind chime outside the front door on the porch.
Thanks,
Iris

Dear Iris,
1. Please refer to my most recent message on the use of fish tank in this conference. The message is titled: Aquarium - rearing of fishes 12/7/2001.
2. In my opinion, rearing of fishes be best left to those who love to rear them as a hobby. Unless, one has been specifically asked to rear one e.g. to neutralise a poison arrow i.e. aimed into the bedroom such as a lone lamp post which may pose a threat i.e. slicing into the home.
3. The adage: If it ain't broken, do not fix it. How true this is (in my opinion). As sometimes, we may unexpectedly bring ourselves more problems.
If rearing fish is a hobby, then, it can be expected that we can consult say a FS practitioner on the position. Normally, it would be best to relate the positioning with the Flying Star chart. Or, we do not want to go further, we ourselves even before we purchase a fish tank would have an `inking' or idea as to where we would like to place it at.
If the house is rather small and narrow, then, it would not be advisable to place a fish tank.
For wind chimes, it is again true. The question asked is: Is it because, I fell in love with a wind chime and `must have it' in the home. Or, I am trying to follow my neighbour or have read that it would bring me wealth.
In Flying Star Feng Shui, a metallic wind chime would be very useful to constantly destroy the bad earth #5 element. And it may not be of harm if one decides to place it. It can still be placed on the porch.
The `downside' with metal wind chimes is that sometimes, it may inadvertently attract the wrong elements into the home. For example, if (in particular) a child sleeps in a room diagonal or next to the wind chime, the child may sometimes have nightmares. This is thought to be caused by playful imps (they are of no particular threat) but can cause nightmares. Since they are placed outside the house. The rationale here is also because for the Toaist or Buddhist believe that metallic sounds i.e. are used e.g. during the cremony to call the dead during a funeral and lead them from e.g. to the place of burial.
In my opinion, sometimes, if we may end up literally playing with fire e.g. playing with matchsticks and resulting.. in causing a fire. This is not always the case, but we should be aware of such consequences that may result...
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
