"Therefore watch yourselves very carefully. Since you saw no form on the day that the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire, beware lest you act corruptly by making a carved image for yourselves, in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female, the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the air, the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth. And beware lest you raise your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the host of heaven, you be drawn away and bow down to them and serve them, things that the Lord your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven.
We're family, not under the law, Our Father knows us and we know Him. We hold no idols, and all that we have is from Him and for His glory. In admonishment though for you..."Him that is weak in faith receive ye, but not to doubful disputations. For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. Who art thou that judgest another mans servant? To his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up; for God is able to make him stand! (Read Romans 14)

You are right in your assment of graven images. But look at the context. It is talking about making an image to depict God for worship which is a correption of God. I know of no christian who uses the fish symbol in this way i.e. worship! The symbol is used to depiect them as a follower of Christ Jesus. It is a symbol of who thay are. Not God!
