Since they are not in the same genus, would the offspring likely be
sterile? That happens when muscovie ducks and any standard barnyard duck
such as mallards, pekins and runners crossbreed...

Yes. They will interbreed. I call the offspring Koinkey. Koi Donkeys. I
have one in my 55 gallon aquarium. We found and rescued him from the VF just
before it froze.

Is it common for them to breed spontaniously in a pond?
I had my 3 fantail goldies for 4 years and they never did anything.
'course they could have all been the same sex, but what are the odds?

My fish have spawned numerous times, and without me even playing romantic
music near the pond.
