imo set up another tank for white clouds. I am of the opinion that you have too many goldfish in that tank. After doing a bit of reading on goldfish after I had seen so many "hey is my goldfish ok in a 1 gallon tank" questions I wanted to learn more. imo goldfish should have a 30 gallon tank for the first and an extra 10 gallon for each additional. A lot of people will say 20 gallons per 1 is fine and it probably is, but they generate so much waste that I believe it should be 30 gallon per 1 and then extra 10 for each additional.
So by how I would house a goldfish you have too many. However it is my opinion and as long as your fish are happy and healthy I have no problem with how you keep your fish. As for the white clouds. I actually know a fair bit about them because I was looking to make a white cloud 10 gallon until I ran into some problems from MA law, which I am still not quite sure what the ruling is.
Anywho, I wouldn't really suggest them in the same tank. The main reason is that the goldfish will get to a point where they will more than likely try to eat or just eat your white clouds. Granted with a large enough school of them and with how quickly they swim it is probably not much of a problem, but they would be stressed out. Not to mention that they need a school of 6+ (larger is always better) and with your already heavy bioload on your tank your water quality may quickly drop.
Honestly I personally think that it is a bad idea. Even aqadvisor says you would be overstocked even with a small school of white clouds
My suggestion is to set up a 10 or 20 gallon tank with white clouds. I personally love the golden variety and you could get both golden and normal white clouds and they would school together.
just my opinion however
