Example Koi-Comet (goldfish) Hybrid
This is an example hybrid between a koi and goldfish, I found the picture on the internet. This one represents a typical hybrid, the most distinctive trait is the large hump behind the head. Hybrids grow to 12", and sometimes 15" long. They seem to be tougher than koi and can take the lower water quality like goldfish can. Not sure on their life span.

World Record "Goldfish"
In 2003 this fish was declared the Guiness World Record Longest Goldfish in the world at 18.7 inches long. But as you can see by it's disctintive hump, I am pretty sure it is a hybrid.
