Hi, I am a bit confused, are Koi and Goldfish the same thing? I
understand that they are both carp, but could I breed a goldfish with a
koi? Thanx.

No, they're not the same. They're from the same family, but not even
the same genus. Koi are true carp ("Cyprinus carpio"), Goldfish are
"carassius auratus" (which means something like "gold-coloured carplike
thing")

You _can_ breed koi to goldfish, they produce sterile offspring.
