Goldfish should live with goldfish with the exception of weather (dojo) loaches, bristlenose plecos, or apple/mystery snails.
In my 20gal tank, I had a small school of neon tetra (about 6 survived the ride home from petco), an albino pleco, one comet goldfish and a fancy goldfish.

But you cant really chose what companion will be the best because all goldfish have certain types of personalities and they will either love eachother or hate.

Do goldfish live well with other fish?
Not always. Goldfish are largely peaceful, but... They have ravenous appetites and eat aggressively, so tankmates may not get enough food and/or may get hurt in the process. They foul a tank with copious amounts of waste (poop), so tankmates may not be able to survive the more toxic environment. They get big, so tankmates and decorations may get broken or injured. All of these conditions can be mitigated with planning and proper care and you can enjoy your goldfish for years and years (they can live up to 25 years with a reported world record of 41).
