Angel fish (Pterophylum scalare) are one of the most tropical fish coming from the Amazon. Goldfish (Carassius auratus) are cold water fish. They both need totally different condtions and water qualities. So the answer is they could live together provided the water is kept warm and pure enough for the Angelfish but they will not do well.

What fish get along with angelfish?

Angelfish grow quite large and can bully, even their own kind. It is wise to buy several youngsters and let them pair off, then keep the pair and sell the others. You shouldn't have any problems with shoaling fish and South American species would include most of the tetra family. Also fish such as pencil fish and head standers, dwarf cichlids and catfish should be fine. The thing to avoid is other species of angelfish (I once had one badly bullied) and fish with exotic flowing fins such as betta. Also do not purchase very small fish such as rasboras (I would stick to all South American species anyway, personally - I think it's more interesting).
