   @farah I have heard of that story of the fish turning into a dragon primarily in the context of the Pokemon Majikarp - which is a reference to the story of the Koi and the Dragon Gate (which apparently is a motif)

   The other might be en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuimu ? Which I mostly know through Laurence Yep's work en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_o…

     When I was little, I read this Chinese folklore about a small (gold)fish who went on an adventure to find the golden gate or sea. Eventually he turns into a dragon. Anyone ever read something like that? I keep thinking about the story but can’t remember the name
