Yes they may be large, but did you grow them from youngsters? Also, goldfish are coldwater and eels and plecos are tropical

Well that pleco probably isn't that big is he? Thats because when tropical fish are in coldwater it slows down their system which makes them grow alot slower.

For tank stocking suggestions, for the bottom like simpte said get around 8 corys, then you could get 4 angelfish and then once they get big two of them will form a pair (become boyfriend and girlfriend) then just return the other two angels that didn't pair up. Then maybe you could get 5 to 6 small tetras like lemon tetras, red eyed tetras, x-ray tetras but don't get neon's as the angels can eat those.
