Tancho Koi for sale 丹頂
How to identify a Tancho Koi
A single round red marking on the head — ideally a perfect circle centered between the eyes — on an otherwise pattern-free white body. Named after the red-crowned crane and echoing the Japanese flag. Tancho Kohaku is the classic form; Tancho Sanke and Tancho Showa also exist.

What tancho koi cost
| Grade | Typical price (6–10″ unless noted) |
|---|---|
| Pond / garden quality | $100 – $1,550 |
| High grade / import | up to $3,000 |
| Show grade | $6,000+ |
Tancho cannot be bred deliberately — the round head spot is luck, which keeps quality specimens scarce.
Size, body conformation, and breeder line move prices more than variety alone — see the full koi price guide.
