It will think that there is another fish really there and it will fight at it until you take the mirror away from it or it dies.

Can goldfish survive in the same aquarium with Siamese fighting fish?

Heck no! I would highly discourage tanking common goldfish and Siamese fighting fish together. I have one of each myself, and they each have their own personalized homes and feeding/water changing schedules. Bettas are called "Siamese fighting fish" for a reason; the males are highly territorial and are fit to kill. A couple times a week I'll hold a mirror in front of my betta and he shows all his fins, and tries to attack his own mirror image. It is not good to do this for too long, as it will wear them out. Common goldfish are referred to as "feeder fish" because they make great meals for larger carnivorous fish. Though male bettas aren't very large, they are still carnivores.
