Hello, I want to add a ryukin and an Oranda goldfish to my 29 gallon and I was wondering what other fish could go with it, I was thinking some ghost shrimp and a rubber lip pleco?
No dojo loaches, as aqadvisor said they were to big
Thanks

I think you're fully stocked with your two golds to be honest. A plec has a huge bioload so that's probably not a great idea. Is there anything other than the fancies in there at the moment?
 
What other fish are in this tank? An oranda and ryukin put a 29g at full capacity assuming they are juveniles. Within a year, it will not be large enough for the two of them. Shrimp will be eaten. Goldfish realistically are only suitable with other goldfish though with a larger tank, wcms or possibly danios could be considered (or possibly eaten). There simply is not room in a 29g to even consider other fish.
