Default safe to switch goldfish and FW tropicals?

I am thinking of switching the fish in two aquariums. Have a goldfish
that needs more room and only a few tropicals (zebra danios and
pristella tetras) in a larger tank.

My question is ... would this be safe to do? Do I need to worry about
diseases being transmitted between them? Both tanks are cycled.

Any advice much appreciated,
Dennis

Safe as far as I know. There are a few diseases which certain species
are more susceptible to, and a rare few diseases which some species can
carry without symptoms, but for 2 established home tanks, the chances of
problems would seem pretty slim.
