Hi evreryone, my first post to the group.
I have a 65 litre coldwater tank with a couple of goldfish and a mollie in
it.
I was wondering if there is any other interesting creature I could add other
than fish? The water is average 23oC.

Kind regards

65 litre? I'd keep the stocking as is so your goldfish can grow nicely.
White cloud minnows are nice, but the goldfish will eventually grow
large enough to eat them.

If you ever get a bigger tank, weather loaches (dojos) are also tolerant
of colder water. I like to keep them in bigger tanks than yours,
though, because they grow 6" long and can be quite active.
