OP, i've had two goldfish for less than year in a 20 gallon tank. They both started out as tiny 1" long feeder fish, now one is ~5.5 inches and the other one ~2.5 inches. They BARELY have enough room in this 20 gallon tank. Of course, I have quite a few plants in my tank, but still, goldfish need ALOT of room.
Just think, the bigger of a tank you get, the bigger your fish will get cuz they will be happy they have all that room to swim around and look pretty in.
do NOT get a plecostamus, pet stores will just label them as "algae eaters" but those fuckers can get like a foot long. Make sure you do your research when getting algae fish.
Since you are keeping goldfish, who get quite aggressive when it comes to food, I would not recommend an algae fish. When you try to give your algae fish some sinking algae pellets, your goldfish will get all over that shit and your poor little algae fish wont get any.
Snails are a good choice for algae management. If you get a good, healthy apple or mystery snail, they can get to the size of golf balls.
