Has Anyone Done This?

I didnt mean for them to spawn but they did, has anyone else had this happen?

I took a black moor goldfish and an oranda goldfish put them in the same tank and low and behold by morning I had eggs! Before this i didnt know how to tell the gender of goldfish so i didnt know I had a boy and a girl. I was very surprised they laid eggs, Since they were different variations i was incredibly surprised. The eggs hatch. I ended up haveing about 60-100 fry. I kept them for four months or so. I gave 14 away but then sadly the rest died along with the mother and father when These little white worms(dont know what they are) appeared in the tank.

So, what im asking is, did anyone else have their goldfish spawn this way. Everyone I talk to is amazed that it happened.

You did get quite lucky with two fish turning out to be a pair, spawning, eggs hatching, and successfully raising the fry so quickly and easily. That's not entirely common, in part because they can be so hard to sex and they're often sold as immature juvies. However, technically, this isn't a case of a true hybrid, as all goldfish are just "cosmetic" morphs within the same species, Carassius auratus auratus. It would be like, say, a daschund mating with a poodle--not something you'd expect, offspring might be pretty darn weird, but they're both Canis lupus familiaris

you could breed a comet to a fantail so that is minor true hybrids are the real surprize
