Copper Fish

Small: 8cm; Large: 10.5cm

Used primarily for feng shui purposes in homes and business premises, these copper Chinese carp are usually displayed in sets of five, seven or best of all, nine fish.  There are three traditional methods of arranging these fish. When one is slightly ahead and leading the rest forward, it means that one customer will bring many more. If there are scattered or all converging towards the centre, then they represent customers coming from all directions. Some people also believe that they have to be kept well-polished and shiny to represent gold.
