• In feng shui, clean, flowing, well-lit water with fish is the ultimate way of transforming bad energy and round objects help chi (the energy force that flows throughout the Universe) to curve around rooms and buildings.
• A fish bowl on the left hand side of your front door encourages good ‘chi’.
• The chinese word for fish AND success is “yu”.
• It’s believed that by placing fish in the home or office brings good fortune
• Three fish symbolise “yang” energy. The best combination is two goldfish (representing good luck and energy) and one black fish (representing protection)
• Goldfish (or ‘baby dragons’) in feng shui are considered very lucky.

With the five-stage filtration system, bubbling water and low-voltage light, Biorb is considered by some to be perfect for good Feng Shui. Further tips include combining fish with a biOrb with a blue or black lid and base to activate your career. A biOrb with a green lid & base positioned around in the east of your room boosts energies of health and ambition.

So what is Biorb?

Biorb is the brainchild of Reef One, pioneers of aquarium products since 1998. The original BiOrb was designed back in ‘98. The two main collections today are Biorb Classic and Biorb Life.

Biorb Aquariums are very chic and wouldn’t look out of place in a lush city centre apartment or office environment. Their simple yet stunning designs range from the traditional ‘fish bowl’ sphere to a ‘retro’ square.

New editions are in development continuously but currect collections that you can buy today.

Biorb Life - The Biorb Life collection is a set of really funky retro aquariums. You can choose between large or small portrait (rectangular) or a box/square design. These would certainly attract comments from visitors due to their interesting design. The Biorb Life is a perfect solution if you get a little kick when friends admire your home decor and furniture tastes.

BiUbe Pure - The BiUbe Pure aquarium is constructed with crystal clear acrylic which really emphasises the colours inside. The advanced LED lighting gives the appearance that water is suspended in mid-air. Pure is a ‘plug and go’ aquarium, like all BiOrbs and comes with:

BiOrb 30 & BiOrb 60 - The original classic BiOrb designs are a popular favourite probably the most popular because of their classic ‘fish bowl’ shape. Remember the BiOrbs are complete aquariums and delivered ready to plug in. You don’t have to go shopping for anything else - except the fish of course…just don’t forget you need to add water!

Measuring 42 cm high and 40cm wide, the BiOrb 30 aquarium is clearly the smaller of the two classic Orb shaped aquariums while the Biorb 60 Aquarium is a mammoth tank. It gets the name because it is 60 kilos in weight and holds up to 60L of water. This is the BiOrb design for you if you have a larger space which would drown the smaller ranges! This is really a complete aquarium kit with a simple set up but you can convert it to a Marine (saltwater) aquarium if desired and also opt for further accessories such as a heater, halogen light or 24hour LED.

Biorb Biube - The BiUbe is a little more compact than the classic Orb range and is perfect for the small home office. You can change the base and lid colour and it is so simple to maintain just like the other models. It has a capacity for 35 litres of water and is ideal for both tropical or coldwater fish

SpyOrb Biorb - This aquarium is relatively new and the design speaks for itself as it resembles an underwater spy hole on a ship. It can be used to hold freshwater fish or it can be converted to a Saltwater (Marine) aquarium if you prefer the more exotic aquatic life.

The Biorb Spyorb comes in white, black or silver

Baby BiOrb - The Baby Biorb’s are the cutest and smallest of the Biorb Classic aquariums. I can see these looking simply elegant as a coffee table centre piece or a finishing touch on a hallway stand. The standard base and top colours are black or silver which blend in perfectly with modern furniture and fittings. You can opt for a function called ‘Baby BiOrb Moonlight’ which switches the lighting effects when evening comes. Baby biOrb Moonlight automatically switches off the daylight bulb leaving just the soothing blue blue glow of the moonlight. How lovely?

Kids Biorb Aquariums - With the colourful lid and base options the Baby BiOrb is just PERFECT for a child’s bedroom. Choose from baby pink for the girls or baby blue for the boys. A neutral theme for a child could be the tangy yellow or Glow in the Dark Green is perfect for little lads!

BiOrb Lighting - You can get an LED light unit to create a 24 hour lighting cycle effect including sunrise, daylight, sunset and moonlight. The unit is concealed in the aquarium lid and can actually last 50,000 hours. Like all BiOrb aquariums, you simply plug and go - a very simple set up yet such stunning effects. The LED unit is thought to reduce the stress on the fish by producing artificial light cycles that would occur in their natural habitat. There are actually 7 different cycles to choose from and you can change between them at the push of a button or simply leave it on automatic. the LED unit gives an added ‘mood lighting’ affect although the Biorb is aesthetically appealing as an aquarium by itself.

The American public is in love with fish - not the eating kind, but aquarium fish. It’s estimated that 1 out of every 10 households in this country has an aquarium or tank with freshwater fish. Another half of a percent of the population keep saltwater fish. This makes housing aquariums one of the most popular hobbies in the country.

But a plain fish tank is relatively dull. So what do you do with one once you have it? How do your accessorize it? Here are three fish aquarium ideas to help you to get started:

1) An embellished fish tank can impart a bit of class and fun to an elsewise dull room. But there is in truth no law that says a fish aquarium has to be stocked with fish. An aquarium makes an ideal structure for housing a faux wetlands environment. Populate it with your favorite gravel, driftwood, marsh plants, and so on and watch your aquascape take off.

2) A lot of people like the thought of “natural” and for their aquarium surroundings they want to furnish the fish with  the natural setting that  they would have in nature. Others, however, don’t really care much. For people like them, plastic is the ideal “natural” substance. Fake plants, fake rocks, fake driftwood, fake structures are perfect for them. The beauty of plastic plants is that they don’t die. You put them in the tank, and, except for a bit of color fading here and there, they remain the same for years. Not only that, but you can get plastic structures in almost any shape you can think of - even castles.

3) Add a distinctive aquarium background to your tank. There are aquarium backgrounds to fit almost every budget and aquarium size. You can buy cheap and affordable background stickers that stick on to the back of your aquarium. Or, you can purchase molded background insets to affix to the sides of the tank. Or, you can go all out and get full 3d background structures such as what you see in public aquariums across the country. Any of these choices can add a touch of excitement to your aquarium.

Done right, an aquarium can be more than simply a tank with fish. It can be a true work of art.

Many lovers of tamed and ornamental fishes are very much aware that one of the best kinds of decorative fishes, if you want to call it that way, is the Koi fish. Koi fishes are the envy of everybody when they see someone they knew who has his own pond collection of Koi fishes.

Koi Fishes can live even up to 200 years old and there is even a hard evidence that they can live longer than this. The original Koi were cultured as food fish by Chinese rice farmers in the 1800’s. When brought to the Niigata Prefecture, Japan’s premier rice-growing region, rice farmers there continued to keep Koi as a food source, especially during winter. But somewhere between the 1820s and 1830s, they began to notice that some Koi had amazing colors and markings on their bodies. This is where they started to change their minds about this classification of carp (yes, it’s simply a carp but they’re the most beautiful types of carps…). They started to put Koi fishes in a Koi pond and let them thrive and multiply. Then they saw that it really made a difference in making a house beautiful especially when they are located right in front of the house. Some people even considered it as a lucky charm putting a Koi pond right up front.

Now, Koi fishes are very much famous and most sought-after.

The special black koi is really unknown, but there are many other different kinds of color known. It comes in different varieties and in different names. Koi fishes come in brilliant and vivid combinations of white, red, orange, and black colors among some others. There are many famous and special species of the koi such like Kawarimoro , Asagi, and Kohaku. Only the full black colored koi are able to bequeath their unique color. You will find all about this special and unique kind of koi here.
Japan, Malaysia, China.. and so an or all eastern countries where you can find the special black koi. It can grow as long as 36 inches or approximately 3 feet. Black koi can live for a very long time, longer than 200 years. But most of the time, they live for about 25 to 35 years. These traits make Black Koi one of the rarest qualities of all koi.
The male species of a black koi can be easily recognized by their concave anal section and at times, you can spot some breeding marks on their head. The black Koi produce more than 1 thousand eggs. The water temperature is important for the fish spawn; They will surge in four to seven days. In the beginning it is possible to nourish the spawn with live foods or frozen daphina. At that time, Change their diet in small baby steps into crushed flakes and pellet foods. Do not worry though if you haven’t seen any color yet when it is still young; the color will be gradually visible within 3 to 12 weeks.
In taking care of your black koi, you must know the basic necessities for the fish in order for it to survive longer. The preferable setup for a Black Koi to live is a pond that can carry a thousand gallons or plus.  It is also advisable to put some gravel or rocks on top of the soil in the potted plants inside the pond. This is to ensure that the koi will not dig up on the plants and can cause further damage and mess, since koi are known to eat plant’s roots and live creatures in it. Just like any other koi ponds, it needs proper filtration, in order for the water to be clean and suitable for koi.
Feed black koi with the diet that most koi fish follow, but you can feed black koi with quality pellet or flake food. The quality of the food depends on the price.
Black koi can be aggressive eaters at times. But in due time, black koi can be a friendly pet and in much longer – but not sooner, it can be taught to eat food from your hand.
