Dear Allison,

1. Recently, I posted a painting with double 9 fishes.

2. For example, if one look closely at that particular painting, 2 x 9 set of fishes are facing each other. " 9 " represents or sounds like longevity. And thus is considered an auspicious number.

3. Yes, Chinese lanterns: some which you had mentioned either had four sides or there are four round lanterns X 2 on each side is equally acceptable.

It would be best to use a `pair' or even numbers and it would not be good to add an extra `fish' unless it is a single piece of painting or drawing/art work.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
