How did catfish get its name?
Because language is arbitrary and most words do not have any kind of resemblance to real-world objects. Words are symbols, in the same way the letter W represents a certain sound, but there's no reason why it couldn't represent the sound represented by the letter M if everyone agreed that it did. If you changed your name tomorrow you would still be the same human being, just with a different set of sounds as your name. The word "fish" comes from Old English, and before that from Germanic.

What if you put dragon fish angelfish catfish and goldfish all in one tank?
In all probability they will die. Some catfish (there are hundreds of species of catfish)are cold water fish and others are tropical so I can not say about that. The only fresh water"Dragonfish" I know of is the Gobie (Gobioides broussonnetii) and it is definitely a very tropical fish and a very hard to keep little fish at that. Angel fish would handle the same conditions as the Gobie but Goldfish are a coldwater fish and certainly would not handle the conditions that the Angelfish and the Gobie require to survive.
