Don't bother buying fancy dechlorinators, just buy one that eliminates both.Float the bag filled with air and the goldfish into your aquarium water.Let the bag float for 30min until the water temperature inside the bag matches the water in the aquarium. Goldfish can die if there are rapid changes in water temperatures.Open the bag, let the water mix and slowly let the goldfish swim into its new home.Depending on the size of your tank, don't add more than a few goldfish at a time or your tanks ammonia levels might spike and kill all the goldfish in your tank.
