Definitely don't go above 80 on a goldfish tank lol. Between 68 and 72 is ideal. I only asked about heating because even coldwater fish may have different tolerance of varying water temperature.

I would personally recommend maybe 2 more goldfish and then a few weather loaches. Goldfish are sociable so it's better to have more of them. And weather loaches are just awesome! There are some other fish that you could keep with goldfish that are rare and exotic- look up some of the species in the genuses leptobotia and sinibotia. They're cool looking fish that overall prefer cooler water, although look up the temperature requirments before you buy because they can very from species to species. Also some get incredibly large while others max out at a few inches.

this thread in the wrong spot. It should be in a freshwater sub forum. this section is for profiles of fish, not stocking advice.
