After three eventful decades, this tenacious Koi fish is settling into his forever pond at Vancouver's Bloedel Conservatory.

The 34-year-old koi, named Dragon Gate, was recently relocated to a newly rehabilitated pond in the conservatory, a 50-year-old tropical oasis and heritage building located in Queen Elizabeth Park atop the City of Vancouver’s highest point.
 

His new home is a well-deserved respite for Dragon Gate, who is believed to be the oldest koi in Vancouver. Life hasn't been a swim in the park since he first arrived in the City to participate in Expo ’86, residing in the Korean pavilion. After finding a long-term home at Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden following the Expo, Dragon Gate proved just how tough Koi can be in 2018, when he survived the first tragedy to strike the Koi pond: the arrival of a rogue river otter, who nearly succeeded in wiping out the Koi population. Dragon Gate was rescued from the pond and eventually returned to its waters, only to face—and survive—yet another river otter attack the following year.
