They're the same genus, so I guess it might be possible. I've never heard of it happening before, though.

I've been doin a ton of reserch on theese things and apparentaly most of this in-breeding happens when the original fish has a defect to begin with, The Koi started when a strand of goldfish after like 2,000 years ended up making one light orange fish, which lucky before it was breed out produced another, so it has something to do with a flying cow, a pinch of clover and some spoons. Good Luck. (Also, t_chelle is right, alot of the time if their genetics are VERY VERY close they can inbreed)
