The presence of three fish symbolizes endless life and a continuous flow of fortune. In feng shui, carps are associated with prosperity. According to the Tao Te Ching, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three give birth to all things. Water symbolizes wealth and prosperity, bringing good luck and happiness.
