Yeah.
Here's what I found on Google - Aquaticcentral
Introduction to Datnoides:
Tigers are considered to be an auspicious fish and comprise 1 of the 4 elements of feng shui fish. The others being the arowana (dragon), the flagtail prochilodus (phoenix), and any of the distichodus species (majestic shelter). In recent years the Siamese tiger, aka wide-bar tiger, has seen the most popularity and as a result has been excluded from Thailands’ export CITES list. It is somewhat comforting to know that The Department of Fisheries in Thailand ( DOF ) has already embarked in a Datnoides Pulcher captive breeding program. Since availability of juvenile d. pulchers has become nil there have been many attempts to release false specimens to the public. Also, rumors and theories of a “new” or 6th type of tiger have risen. This 6th type of tiger, dubbed C.T., will remain “controversial tiger” in my book and as far as I’m concerned there are still only 5 species of Datnoides. However I am awaiting the day these become available again !!!
i saw a different thread Stones was selling STs. so i actually guessed right on the flagtail being the phoenix
anyone know why no feng shui fish are smaller species? just curious.
also are all fish supposed to be together, or just spread between the tanks in a house?

good question. i didn't think about that one i guess on account that i keep monsters anyways lol. but i wonder if there is a smaller route to go doing feng shui
Well although they are supposed to bring luck, it is also a status symbol and thought to bring financial welfare. You can probably imagine that a 2' aro cruising around in a large pond looks more majestic & expensive than a small species of fish.

Lol. yeah, but what if a poor guy needs to get some feng shui going? ;-) I always thought it was more about creating that, not displaying what you already have. but I know nothing.
