Well I just got one-(a red eyed tetra)- yesterday, and I have a 37 gallon aquarium filled with goldfish, and my red-eyed tetra has done fine. It's been eating, and getting along with my goldfish, so yeah, Tetras do fine with goldfish.

No, they are different species, Goldfish belong to the Cyprinidae family, common Tetras belong to the Characidae family, not even slightly related.

If your tetra is small enough, your goldfish can/will eat it. Goldfish can get pretty big whereas common species of tetra usually do not get too large. They are not compatible species at all.

I have brown minnows with my goldfish, and they dont bother them. So red minnows should be able to live with them to. Hope that this helps.
