The Arowana fish, also called Dragon Fish, is the most powerful fish symbol used in feng shui for attracting wealth and abundance. The Chinese call it Kam Lung Yue, meaning “Golden Dragon” or “living dragon.” Due to its similarity to an actual dragon with its beautiful, rainbow-colored metallic scales, it is reportedly the world’s most expensive aquarium fish.
“Yu” is the Chinese word for fish, meaning wealth and superfluity, which makes it a significant symbol of prosperity. Arowana is known as the “wealth fish,” or the fish of the rich and famous.
Used as a feng shui wealth enhancer, the Arowana symbol is depicted wearing coin-designed scales with a coin in its mouth and sitting on a bed of Chinese coins. It is said that having a symbol of this creature in the home, business or office brings all kinds of blessings. Examples: increased income, safety from accidents and harm, protection and guardianship, and the enhanced flow of chi (Chinese word for energy).
To quote a description from: http://www.fengshuimall.com:
The Arowana fish is an amazing creature. It has adapted to humankind, as it is able to interpret the language, stay focused on tasks, and display a high level of intelligence. One of the most prominent abilities that the Arowana has is being able to see bad events in the future, detecting the aura of negative energy to come. If it suddenly begins to hit itself against the walls of its glass aquarium, it is a sign of terrible events. The Arowana, in the worst cases, will spring out of the water and commit suicide, sacrificing its own life to repress negative energy for its owner.
The Arowana is a very influential icon among all other water-dwelling creatures. It will bring all kinds of blessings to your home and your family, some of these being increased income (the reason for its title of the “wealth fish” by affluent businessmen and tycoons), prevention of accidents and harm, protection and guardianship, as well as an enhancement of surrounding chi flow.
It is also a faithful creature that will foresee the mishaps for its owner and deflect negative chi from one's surrounding. For those who desire to accumulate their wealth and expand their enterprise, this golden arowana fish is specifically designed to tap the chi of Star Six white and one white, which can attain great benefactor in the work and smoothing one's career path.
Believed as Dragon fish, arowana fish is recognized as a symbol of perseverance and literary and educational success. If parents wish their children to excel at the study and become a smart learner, they can place this arowana fish with crystal pagoda to enlighten the kid's intelligence. This fish and pagoda combination is one of the most famous Feng shui combos that are authentic to stimulate one's inspiration for creative work.
The Arowana symbol can be displayed everywhere in the home, office or place of business, preferably in the north, east, southeast and southwest. Auspicious placements:
- For shop owners who would like to generate more sales revenue, place the symbol near the store entrance or outside the shop to attract more chi.
- To enhance wealth, place it near the water fountain. The Arowana can be displayed beside or inside water elements in the home such as ponds, waterfalls or aquariums.
- To attract blessings and wealth luck for all members of the family, place the Arowana symbol in the East and prominent locations in the home, e.g. living room, main hall or bedroom.
- Display diagonally from the main entrance of the home or office, or the Southeast corner of the reception desk of an office or cash counter of a shop to increase income luck.
- For career luck, place the symbol in the North sector of the office, living room or dining room to boost windfall luck, multiply income sources and career opportunities.
