Just wondering, would they (clams, oysters, mussels) live well with them in a large tank, with the temp at 78 degrees...

They can, but these are filter feeders, so they require very fine food suspended in the water to eat. They will get some of their nutrition from what's already in the tank, but may require periodic feedings to thrive. Feeding them usually creates waste in the tank and will mean more filter rinsing and water changes on your part. If possible, mix the powdered food (you can crush pellets or flakes rather than buy invertebrate food) in a little water and squirt it directly at them with a turkey baster to reduce the amount of food needed.
They need good aeration, so the temperature you use may be a little high for any but tropical species ( Asian golden clam). http://www.wetwebmedia.com/ca/volume_4/V4I2/golden_clams/golden_clams.htm

The goldfish can, whether it is greater of a query of whether the tropical fish will savour its presence. forget approximately foodstuff, whether that's a factor. the main significant themes are goldfish choose difficult, alkaline water on an identical time as maximum tropical fish thrive in mushy acidic waters like those interior the amazon river basin and asian moss swamps/forests. back, there is the temperature themes that have been stated. Goldfish choose plenty cooler water than maximum tropical fish will effectively tolerate. finally, goldfish produce exponential quantities of waste on a regular basis while in comparison with tropical fish, which will spike nitrate and ammonia ranges coming up an extremely poisonous environment to your tropical fish
