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.

Goldfish are coldwater fish and so should only be kept with other coldwater fish. These include Golden Orf, Blue Dace, Rudd and Perch and several species of catfish. The things to remember though are the golden rules. :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water. :- Every fish tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every fish tank needs to have a minimum of 50% of its water replaced every week. Goldfish commonly grow to over 10 inches so one goldfish needs at least ten gallons of water (a minimum of a 13 gallon tank). Overstocking is easy to do and always results in disaster.
