Default INTERBREEDING?

It's kind of ironic that you are writing from South Africa and inquiring
about "every kind sticking to their own"

No they will not. My pond has all kinds of fish initially, Black Moor, Koi,
Goldfish, Electric Blue, etc.

I got baby fish of different combination. Some of the babies were great
looking, some were just down right ugly.

Now my pond only has Koi, and yet I still fret over the sanke breeding with
the showa, the regular koi breeding with the butterfly, the Japanese
imported fish breeding with my standard American pond koi!

Hi all

I've got a question...
What I'm going to ask might be common knowledge to most of you, but i'm
relatively new to the pond scene.

How likely is it that different kinds of goldfish will interbreed in a

pond?
I've got quite a large pond with Comets, and they are breeding

prefusely.(
it is now summer here in South Africa ) and i'm thinking of adding

Fantails
and Black Moors. Will every kind stick to their own or is this a bad

idea?
Thanx...
