I wouldn't recommend it. For one, Goldfish are dirtier fish than most tropical fish.. they emit considerably more bacteria. Also, loaches are considered semi-aggressive fish, and may not interact so well with goldfish.

There are some Coldwater Catfish species, Blue Dace, Rudd, Golden Orf. Check with your pet shop and see what cold water fish they have available. Please do not overstock. Remember the basic rules. :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water. :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water changed every week. Keep the above rules and your fish stand a chance. Fail in any of them and I can guarantee that you will have constant health problems with your fish.

Cichlids are very aggressive fish, and will not be compatible with goldfish. The only type of fish you could keep with cichlids, are other cichlids.

Its not recommended.

The cichlids may nip the koi, or fight the koi maybe even kill the koi.

Only if the Cichlid is a cichlid that won't eat a guppy, like an angelfish.
