Koi Types
Tancho Kohaku
Tancho Kohaku, the most common type of Tancho. This is
is a very popular variation of the Kohaku,
with the Hi (red) pattern only appearing on the head.
The Hi should be circular and should be centered of the Koi's head.
There should be no other
Hi on the body at all.
The Tancho Mystique:
The Tancho Koi, the ones with a nice head pattern, are one of the Japanese'
favorite types of Koi.
It is because this pattern looks like their national flag and
the red
crowned crane (Grus japonensis). Every Koi collector needs at least
one Tancho in their collection.
