In terms of water temperature, you're at the minimum. Their range is about 71.5° to 82.5°F. They can grow up to 10" long & require a minimum tank size of 30 gallons. Also, they can be semi-aggressive. If the tank mates are smaller than they are they can be less than friendly.

My questions at this point are this...
1) How many goldfish are in the tank?
2) What type(s) are they?
3) Have they reached maturity in terms of size?

(I have a sarasa comet, who is currently 3 inches long. He'll grow to around 12 inches. Where as my calico fantail is 2 inches and will grow to 8 inches. Currently I have those two plus a 3 inch common pleco {which can reach 18 inches} in a 55 gallon. The tank looks empty now, but at maturity those fish will look huge.)

On the ammonia remover, I assume you use it as the ammonia stays in the danger zone..? Is the tank fully cycled & what do you use for filtration? If it's cycled & you've got good filtration but still have ammonia issues, you may want to consider cutting back the amount of goldfish (they are very dirty fish).

I would not recommend it. Goldfish and tropicals have different needs. For example, goldies can live in cooler water where as the gourami needs warmer temps. Also depending on how big the gourami is compared to the goldies, they might try to snack on it. The only fish I would recommend keeping with goldies would be either bristlenose plecos, DoJo loaches and maybe a cloud minnow.
