No.
There are over 800 different species of Pleco, all of which are tropical fish and huge waste producers.
Orange Goldfish are coldwater, and also huge waste producers, so you can only imagine the mess that would end up in that tank.
Also, some species of Pleco will not touch algae or veges and may decide to suck off the slime coat from the Orandas, leaving the Goldfish open to infections and parasites. Once a Pleco gets a taste for slime coat, it gets addicted!
So no Plecos with Goldfish!

This is a debate that will be fully dependant on the fish keeper's preferences. Many people love orandas, while others do not care for them at all. If it's my personal preference, I would say that a veiltail is the prettiest, but other fish keepers may not agree with that either.
