Default What aquatic critters are compatible with goldfish?

I have a 20 gallon tank with some Zebra Danios and five small Angel
Fish,...Would these fish get along with goldfish? What other fish would
get along with goldfish? Thanks ahead of time for any help and any
advice that you can give me about purchasing and caring for goldfish for
the first time, would be much appreciated.
Pax Vobiscum,...~Dean.

Danios and Angel fish are tropical fish. Goldfish are not compatible with them
goldfish potentially get huge and would eat them if they can fit in their mouth.
Goldfish also give off a lot of waste which wouldn't be good for the trops.

Loaches and bushynosed plecos are good with goldfish....generally!!

There are so many different breeds of goldfish, I don't see any point mixing
with other types of fish.

Another point I missed, goldfish require 10 gallons each!!!

Well, it looks like I won't be buying any goldfish then. Thanks for the
information, my friend. Pax Vobiscum,...~Dean.

Angel fish are mean.
