I just added a sassaras goldfish, calico ryukin, and a black Moore to my 55 gallon fish tank, and I am curious why you aren't supposed to keep comets with fancy goldfish.

The dace has adapted to eating flake foods even when I offered them frozen bloodworms and our doing fine, the Cory cats I have we're some of the first fish i have ever owned and did perfectly fine in a tank without a heater in fact 2 of them have been with me for 7 years and have done perfectly fine heater or no heater.
The only other fish are Cory cats and several black nosed dace. I will give the comet to petco and u think I am going to get a oranda to replace him.
As others have said, your tank is full with only 3 goldfish. 4 would only be possible with super good filtration and care. But I don't recommend it at all. I don't know about dance but get those Cory cats away from your goldfish!!! Once goldfish get large enough they will try to eat your copies (and anything small enough for their mouths) and Cory cats have spines in their fins that will choke/harm/even kill your goldfish. Just look up goldfish and Cory cats. There are many cases of this.
