All single tailed goldfish types can live with each other. I think the problem is they are more suited to ponds than fish tanks and require large amounts of water as well.

They are goldfish, the thing is they are single tailed which makes them so much faster than fancy types, which have double tails and short fat bodies. they are much quicker to get to food so the fancies dont get their share, and they can bully them and they will need a much bigger tank than fancies as they swim so fast they need a lot more swimming room. so a pond is the best home for them.
