Fish in general and especially Koi (carp) are significant to the Japanese for a few reasons. Koi in general sybolises strength and bravery but different coloured koi have specific symbolic meanings. Red Koi symbolises wealth and success. Somebody probably did become quite wealthy after my mums Koi were stolen from the garden last year. Two of the Kohaku were worth nearly 1000
