From my Chinatown tour: fish are lucky, gold is lucky, so goldfish are extra lucky. Lots of china restaurants put a goldfish tank at the entrance of the room to break up the flow to the door - thus keeping the money in, not giving it an easy path to get out.

Also considered lucky are the cat statues with one raised paw.
