The Tarpon, known in Asháninka as Coginoba, is related to the Mamoro, but with a more agile and territorial nature. It lives in mid-stream waters and is distinguished by its constant movement, representing the vitality and circulation of water energy. In myths, this fish teaches us to maintain inner strength even when life's currents are strong. It is also said that the Tarpon comes to the surface when it senses danger or is about to attack, symbolizing clarity and a protective impulse.
