Why do every fish you put in your tank die except your goldfish?

Goldfish are a hardy species and can survive in worse water conditions than most fish. The basic rules for keeping fish healthy are :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water, a permanently running cycled filter and at least 50% of its water changed every week. If you apply those basic rules your fish should be OK. I am assuming you are not trying to mix Tropical fish with Goldfish. If you are, then you need to get a heater for the tropicals so that they can be kept warm enough (75F). The goldfish would need to be kept in a different tank that has no heater.

No. They require totally different conditions. Goldfish are cold water fish and should not be kept in water above 70F. Plecostomus sp come from the tropics and should be kept in water above 75F.
