ok
1) a wrass is a saltwater fish, you will kill it in your goldfish tank.
2) the tank you have now should be 50 gallons minimum to handle what is in it now, so if your tank is smaller than o i’d say 55 gallons do not add more fish.
3) plecos, chinese algae eaters, oto cats, and flying foxes are tropical fish, they would not do well in a coldwater tank
4) You can try snails but sometimes goldfish eat them
5) I suggest an algae scrubber or mag float.
get a large pleco fish. Also known as a suckerfish. They will clean your tank.
first of all goldfish need a large tank they give off a lot of waste this is true of all algae eating fish as well no fish will clean your tank completely remember 20 gallons per goldfish plus the algae eater needs 1 gallon per inch of its full size as an adult get a good filter and change some of the water often
