So I have a 60 gallon with one literal gold goldfish in it. I also have a crap ton of MTS. I want more decor but I am not sure about what to get. I will be buying a new fish soon. What do you think I should buy?

if you lije schooling fish then i would get like a dozen of serpae tetra they are a good addition to the tank...then you can do more research on fishes down the line. in my opinion i would rehome the goldfish.

Nice good groups of fish.
You have a few guys that get territorial but looks like you have that covered. Good job though.

Do you have a heater? You're going to need one for a tropical tank. Also what do you know about nitrogen cycle and testing for ammonia, nitrates, PH etc. I'd suggest some mollies and swordtails. Hardy fish as you're new to the tropical game. Maybe a school of cardinal tetras, and black widows. You could also have a school of Corys and a gourami pair (I recommend a dwarf species). You want to add the fish gradually over time not all at once. Also if you have gravel then don't get the Corys they new sand and the gravel will ruin their barbels.
