Goldfish companions?

Can any kind of GF live with any other kind of GF?

What other types of fish or animals can live happily with GF (and vice a versa)?

Thanks.

Usually Goldies can live with other goldies. Bubble eyes and other fancys may
not do as well with Commons or comets due to their disadvantage, speed and
visually
but it depends on their personalities really.

Thanks. What about things like guppies? Axilotls? Prawns? Or any
other fish that can live in coldwater.

Generally, it doesn't work out in the end, from what I've read, because the
goldfish get big and then eat their companions. When the goldies are small,
shrimp and white cloud minnows might be a good choice. But one day they may
eat em up!

but the life span of the minnows is probably such that (if you get them
when the goldfish are small) they wil probably live out their natural
span before the goldfish get big enough to eat them?
then there's weather loach...

Goldfish grow pretty quickly, but if you find the number of minnows down by
one or two you can move them to a ten gallon which would be cheap to set up.
I've seen complete aquariums with filters for under $30. White clouds would
be good companions because they are coldwater fish and compatible in that
way. A loach or catfish might work, but you'd have to see if anyone has
succeeded with the combo.
