Goldfish are best with goldfish, but you can have weather (dojo) loaches, or bristlenose plecos, or even apple or mystery snails.
While there may be a number of varied opinions on this, and some fish keepers may have had lucky success with other typically incompatible fish in their tank, this is not the standard or proper recommendation.
There are quite a few species of coldwater fish that can live alongside Goldfish. There are Golden Orfe, Blue Dace, Rudd and several species of catfish too. Check with your local pet shop what coldwater species they have available on their lists.

∙ 6y agoI have goldfish in a pond outside and have had trout in the same pond also a chub. they all seem to get along but you must also have cover for the goldfish to hide in if they are feeder size or they may not live to grow except as feeders for the trout. Outside you are limited as to fish because of weather conditions. Inside I have a couple of aquariums with mixed goldfish and tropicals and do not have a problem there. You are limited only by size and number as you don't want to overcrowd and also don't want to have aggressive fish like cichlids mixed with the passive goldfish. hope this helps. best fish compatible with goldfish are other goldfish,because goldfish are extremely dirty and produce a lot of waste,danios might be compatible with good filtration.
First of all I have done a lot of studies on fish so you can trust my answer. Now if you do have a goldfish I need to tell you, Goldfish are actually quite fast growing fish and they get BIG! That is why people keep them in large ponds in their backyards. The idea that goldfish can live in those little bowls is a myth and it's cruel punishment to keep a goldfish in a bowl! Now, back to your question, goldfish are one of the few fish available as pets that live in cold water (room temperature). All those colorful fish you see in the store are tropical fish that need heated water. Goldfish can't survive in heated water. If you are keeping your goldfish in a pond (like you should) and the pond is very large you can keep Koi in the pond with the goldfish. However the koi can grow to immense sizes and produce a lot of waste. Remember "goldfish bowls" are animal torture! no this is wrong sorry goldfish can live in at least 20 gallons of water. PS: Goldfish can live in a bowl they like it but they will die very early but so do with ever goldfish "Be a friend of the fish!"
any really just make show they are not to rough
Goldfish belong with goldfish with the exception of weather (dojo) loaches, bristlenose plecos, or apple/mystery snails.

Goldfish need 20 gallons for the first fish, and 10 gallons each per additional goldfish (30 gallons for 2 goldfish). If you have a 40 gallon tank for example, you could have 2 goldfish, and 1 bristlenose pleco without being overstocked.

∙ 6y agowell, goldfish get along best by themselves but neon tetras get along, angelfish, ghost knife fish, but not chichleds. many fish get along with goldfish, like male Betta's get along. only if the goldfish is in the tank first when you put the Betta in and also as long as the Betta is the only one of its kind. male Bettas are mostly only aggressive to their own kind.
goldfish give off a lot of ammonia so the only suitable tank companions are more gold fish, other tropical fish would only suffer and eventually die

∙ 13y agoneon and cardinal tetras are the same size and will do fine. They are non aggressive fish.
never put another fish in with a Betta, or that fish will become lunch. You could probably find an eel too but most eels are aggressive.

What kind of fish koi get along with?

Can someone list all the fish that goldfish get along with?
Goldfish get along with many types of peaceful freshwater fish; basically anything that won't eat them. However, goldfish should not be kept with most of the fish you find in a pet store, because they are coldwater fish, and require a lower temperature than most fish. Thus the only suitable tankmates are other coldwater species, which are few and far between.

Do goldfish get along with glow fish?
'Glowfish' are in fact common Zebra Danios (Brachidanio rerio) but these are a 'made in Taiwan', genetically engineered fish. They are banned from sale and production in some states and counties on ethical grounds. They are tropical fish and so require totally different conditions from those required by goldfish which are coldwater fish. So the answer is 'no they will not get along successfully because they need totally different sets of water conditions.

What is the differences from a goldfish and a feeder fish?
a goldfish is a feeder fish. I kind of disagree with the answer above. Yes, goldfish CAN be feeder fish, but they aren't necessarily feeder fish. Feeder fish are really fish that are rather small and are fed to other animals, and that are for some reason thought as not being as precious as other "pet" fish. So a feeder fish and a pet fish are two different kinds of fish, really. Not all goldfish are feeder fish. There are expensive goldfish, more than 10 dollars per fish! Then there are those goldfish breeded to be eaten that are sold as 75 cents per fish. So there are "pet" goldfish and "feeder" goldfish. So, a goldfish is not necessarily a feeder fish.
