Best Answer

I was curious about that one site said they could not and another side downloads a PDF file that says they have even in nature where there were other Koi and Goldfish in the same pond. Her is the link for the pdf file http://www.rsnz.org/publish/nzjmfr/1987/5.pdf You will probably have to either type it or copy and paste the link it will emmediately start downloading the document. I have not found out whether these hybrids can reproduce on their own yet as usually when there is a cross between two Genus the hybrid is usually sterile like a mule.

Yes pond comets and other pond goldfish get along with koi, however koi can get over 24 inches long when a comet typically doesn't grow more than 12 inches- that's quite a considerable difference in size (which is why its often best to keep koi with other koi and goldfish with other goldfish).
