16cm Japanese Imported Tancho Goshiki - Aokiya - QT9 - 86

16cm Japanese Imported Tancho Goshiki – Aokiya Koi Farm

This 16cm Japanese Imported Tancho Goshiki from Aokiya Koi Farm is a rare and highly desirable koi variety that combines the elegance of the iconic Tancho pattern with the unique depth and complexity of Goshiki coloration. Featuring a clean white (shiroji) base, a single bold red (hi) marking centered on the head, and a developing blue-to-black net-like overlay across the body, this koi creates a beautiful balance between simplicity and intricate pattern development.

At 16cm, this young Tancho Goshiki displays excellent body structure, clean pattern placement, and promising early-stage reticulation. The distinct head marking provides a strong focal point, while the developing Goshiki net pattern adds depth and visual interest across the body. As the koi matures, the blue and black reticulation is expected to strengthen, creating greater contrast while preserving the elegance of the traditional Tancho marking.

Imported directly from Japan and selected from the QT9 batch, this Tancho Goshiki has been carefully chosen for its healthy condition, balanced body shape, clean Tancho placement, and strong future development potential. Goshiki varieties are known for their ability to transform over time, with colors and patterns becoming more refined as they mature.

Raised by Aokiya Koi Farm, a respected Japanese breeder known for producing premium-quality Nishikigoi, this Tancho Goshiki represents the artistry and dedication behind authentic Japanese koi breeding. With proper nutrition, excellent water quality, and attentive care, this koi has the potential to become a stunning centerpiece that combines classic Japanese symbolism with modern pattern complexity.
