I assume you are talking about glass ghost shrimp, a small freshwater scavenger shrimp. It is not a good idea because the shrimp are from tropical water (76-82 degrees) and the goldfish is a coldwater fish (60-65 degrees).
Adjusting the water for either one will compromise the other's immune system and result in an early death. I currently have ghost shrimp, Amano shrimp, red clawed shrimp, cherry shrimp, wood shrimp and vampire shrimp. Each has its own personality and way about them. Personally, I would take the goldfish back to the store and concentrate on shrimp if I had to make a choice between the two.
Shrimp are easy to spawn if you keep them correctly. Bushy plants, warm water, fine particle food, no fish in with them other than small non-agressive tropicals (neons, pencilfish) bushynosed plecos or cory catfish.

proper Fin makes respectable aquarium kits. Gold fish do not choose warmth So it receives right down to water high quality. Did you take advantage of a chlorine remover or allow the tank sit down finished without fish for some days? Did you verify your tanks PH and nitrite. If nitrite is intense, ammonia spikes might want to ensue in new tanks. you quite must have slightly 5 in a million strip try kit to be effective that your water is waiting for fish. regrettably, even although I nonetheless advise the above, it is a possibility that the fish were ill once you obtain the. a range of of smaller goldfish are.

You may add a shrimp to your tank if your goldfish is well fed. If not, i wouldn't recommend it.

How big is your shrimp? Are telling you have those with Long pincers? It will bit your goldfish's tail off? you can have those with no pincers type, but that'll not as pretty as those with pincers.

No goldfish are freshwater, and shrimp are saltwater.
