White body with only the head cap in red. Beautiful red-and-white like a Japanese crane. Color variant of Oranda.
Tancho medaka is an improved variety with a white body and red markings only on the head, evoking the iconic Tancho crane (Japanese red-crowned crane). The concept mirrors Tancho koi (white body with red only on the head), and its dignified appearance captivates many enthusiasts. Head-spot fixation rate is low — producing ideal tancho pattern requires mass breeding and rigorous selection. Carotenoid-rich food maintains the head red; outdoor sunlight enhances coloration. Hardy in 5–30°C, neutral to slightly alkaline water. White containers with top-view observation clearly reveal the tancho pattern. Peaceful temperament. The combination of pattern beauty and breeding difficulty gives this variety deep collector appeal.
