It is said that if the Koi can swim up and past the waterfalls at a point called Dragon Gate (on the Yellow River) it would be transformed into a dragon.

I personally like the Japanese symbolism and myths and think the Koi will compliment the Tiger. My Koi will be black and deep red. Not nearly as colorful as tx_tuff's Koi.

This is correct... I currently have a red dragon covering the entire left side of my chest and some of my back and the right side is reserved for a Koi jumping the Dragons Gate.
