they look like goldfish to me, but i agree with the previous post. plus goldfish tend to do better in lower temps, where the jd should be in warmer.......
I disagree.
First of all, those are clearly.... goldfish.
Not koi.
Second, goldfish aren't all that dirty, as most preceive them to be.
Goldfish grazes constantly, therefore, eating up all leftover food or whatever's edible in the tank.
Infact, I keep goldfish in my tank to keep my gravel/sand bed clean.
I once had problems with worm over growth (those tiny little white worms), and my goldfishes did a great job exterminating them.

kind of, when i kept him with my oscar and carpintis, i fed them shrimp and fish pieces and whenever the JD touched a piece he would swim quickly across the tank while the other fish gobbled it up
his favorite food is tubifex worm cubes, so he's not a vegetarian, just doesn't like fleshy foods i guess
