What kinds of signs are you seing? Breeding stars on their gills and fin? Chasing?
I am afraid goldfish and koi do not stay within their species when ready to breed. I caught my 12 inch comet chase a koi around about double his size!
What are you keeping your fish in? Maybe its possible to put a devider in until they calm down....

how big is your koi? if he is the same size the goldie might be confused. if not, the goldie is a bit optapistic!

goldfish and koi *do* produce offspring... very unnatractive offspring, but they do it.
so, you may have a tank full of hybrids soon. How big is your koi and goldfish?
