Goldfish are carp
No, they are both in the same family.

Carp are generally not fish-eaters, if other food is available, although they have been known to prey on smaller fish. They are omnivorous, preferring to eat a variety of aquatic plants and invertebrates and crustaceans they scavenge from the riverbed.

Yes, because we have a carp name Papa and goldfish that are all in one tank we had our fish for about 6yrs now going on 7.

I think its just the way you bring them up like the temperature of the water and the when you feed them and other stuff you put in the tank. Well I hope that answers everybody questions if you disagree then find out for yourself put a carp with a goldfish.
