I was bored and looked up Koi on Wikipedia and found this:

The word "koi" comes from the Japanese, simply meaning "carp." It includes both the dull grey fish and the brightly colored varieties. A homophone of koi means "love, affection" and koi are therefore symbols of love and friendship in Japan: a good example is the short story Koi-san by Mukoda Kuniko.


I thought it was interesting. You learn something new everyday. :)

Hi tia, this is interesting, so when i get my wife a koi for are anniversary i will say it is a symbol of love :lol: and it will last longer than flowers a good ploy to get more fish thanks tia your a star

If my DH (dear husband) bought me a fish (even a 27 cent goldfish) for our anniversary I would give him a big fat kiss! :wub: :wub: I would think that you would win lots of points with that idea!! Maybe one fish for each year that you are married?? You may need a bigger pond though.... ;) :lol:
