Carps

Carp or Koi Fish, red dots on their foreheads

Single red dot on the forehead of a carp is the symbol of failure. During the legend of the Dragon Gate, carps that do not make it in jumping over the Lung Men or dragon gate are marked for life with a red dot on their forehead.

If you are considering putting up picture or poster of carps, please note that the carps do not have a single red dot on their forehead.
