Well, any other coldwater fish that isn't big enough to fit in ur commons mouth will be fine. But don't add fancy goldies, they will have trouble competing for food!

Common goldfish will need a larger tank, I wouldn't add anything until you upgrade them to a larger tank (ideally a 125).

Like any fish goldfish will eat anything that fits in their mouth. So anything small enough will end up disappearing.
