well goldfish are coldwater fish they like temps below 70 and will be very unhappy and get sick if kept with tropicals (that like temps 75 to 80 on average) other than that i believe theyre the same pretty much

 

Are these comets( single tailed) or true fancies ( multiple tailed)?

They both need a minimum of 15-20 gallons a fish to do best.

As well, true fanices need a high veggie diet due to the compacting of their intestines in their short body.

Also, both require a higher rate of filtration,than most tropicals, as they are massive waste producers.
