Goldfish are best with goldfish, but you can have weather (dojo)
loaches, or bristlenose plecos, or even apple or mystery
snails.
While there may be a number of varied opinions on this, and some
fish keepers may have had lucky success with other typically
incompatible fish in their tank, this is not the standard or proper
recommendation.
There are quite a few species of coldwater fish that can live
alongside Goldfish. There are Golden Orfe, Blue Dace, Rudd and
several species of catfish too. Check with your local pet shop what
coldwater species they have available on their lists.

Asked in Goldfish
What fish can live with a goldfish?
Goldfish can only live with other goldfish. I know this is a
rather sad, depressing thing, but I will remind you that there are
lots of other goldfish that are pretty and there's a wide variety
of them. You may notice that goldfish tanks are usually a bit bare,
because only goldfish can live there. Tropical fish don't simply
work out with goldfish, because of the temperature and really
because they aren't supposed to live with each other in the wild
anyway.
Though it's not a fish, if you really want to put some other sea
creatures in your tank, I suggest to put sea snails. It's really
the only other sea creature you can put in with goldfish, in my
opinion. But be careful, snails can be a bit dirty!
