This impressive 18-inch Tancho Kohaku Koi showcases one of the most iconic and sought-after patterns in the koi world. A bright, well-defined tancho red marking sits prominently on the head, standing out beautifully against the clean white shiroji body. The simplicity and balance of the single red marking give this koi a timeless elegance that makes Tancho Kohaku highly prized among collectors.
The body features smooth, even white skin quality that highlights the bold head marking and creates a striking visual presence in the pond. At 18 inches, this koi has excellent size and strong body structure, making it a true centerpiece fish.
This particular koi also carries a small, fully healed scar near the dorsal area — a reminder of a past predator encounter earlier in its life. The fish has completely recovered and continues to thrive, adding a unique story of resilience that makes this Tancho even more memorable.
Large Tancho Kohaku of this size are not commonly available online, making this a standout opportunity for hobbyists looking to add a classic and impressive koi to their pond.
