In Chinese tradition, Koi are symbolic of unity and fidelity as it is noted that fish (particularly koi) often swim together in pairs. With this in mind, Koi are often given as wedding gifts in the form of charms or figurines to present the newly-wed couple with an auspicious sign of fidelity and perfect union. They are known to represent fertility and abundance due to their ability to reproduce in speed and volume. It is also said that if you are determined and don’t conform to what society expects, you are like a Koi swimming upstream against the current. Koi are often referred to as “swimming flowers”.
