Actually, it isn't only a matter of personality compatibility, but also an environmental compatibility. Yes, fancy goldfish should only be put with other fancy goldfish because they are slow fish and cannot compete for food with any other kind of fish, including the fast, slim-bodied goldfish, and it is also true that the clown knife fish's main diet is live fish, which wouldn't bode well for the goldfish. But, goldfish are also considered a coldwater fish and, although they can temporarily handle higher temperatures, really do not like temperatures above 72 degrees. Clown knife fish water temperature requirements are between 76-80 degrees. Additionally, goldfish need a ph level of 7.0. Clown knife fish need a ph level of 6.6. The combination of the personality and environmental differences make the keeping of these two fish together impossible.

Most fish hate living with goldfish because they are slimy and produce a high quantity of ammonia. the only fish i would ever recommend putting with a goldfish would be another goldfish,

yes until the clown knife gets big enough to eat him, they get 30+ inches and have very poor vision, black moors are slow swimmers, unsteady and slow growing, they would be a morsel in no time
