I just gave my mom a pretty large tank, and my chocolate oranda. My little sister has the goldfish who usually cost about 35 cent at the store. My mom wanted to put them together. I personally don't think that my fish will fight with it... But you can never be too sure.
Should I tell her to keep them separate?... I mean, I actually feel sorry for the fish my sister has in that small bowl of hers being so confined. But I don't want them to fight each other either.

yes you can mix them together as long as the tank you have is large enough to hold both goldfish without overcrowding. each goldfish need at least 10 gallons each so your tank should be at least 20 gallons or more.
here's a passage from the source i linked below... so you will need to make sure both are getting the food, especially the slower oranda.
"This beautiful breed (oranda) can be kept with many other goldfish varieties, including ranchu, lionhead, moors, pearlscales and many more. It is not adviced though to keep him with faster swimming breeds like the comet, shubunkin or commons due to food disadvantages. "

I Honestly Don't Know, But If Your Not Sure Buy A Mirror, Or Piece Of Glass To Split The Tank Into Two Sides...

You could try it, but keep a close eye on them for fin-nipping. Add some salt for freshwater aquariums to prevent infections if they do nip at each other.
