A South Korean newspaper then carried an article about the fish in South Korea.
The fish is the result of artificial insemination between a carp and ayu sweetfish.
As the fish grew larger, the design on the fish reportedly changed to look more like the face of a human being.
Rare markings on a fish are considered a good omen in some Asian countries, according to a report.
