44 Gallon Hex Goldfish

Some ryukins CAN be aggressive. Mine is fine being housed with a black moor and a comet. but that may be because the tank is 125 gallons. You can try just one more goldfish. Something like a fancy or perhaps another ryukin(?). I wouldn't put any more than two goldfish in there. 
 
And it seems like your tank doesn't have an type of gravel. You will need to have gravel. It's clean without the gravel, but the light reflects off the bottom of the tank (which is like a mirror) and it isn't pleasant to the fish. By the way, your fish is beautiful!

Rosies will get eaten eventually, try some fat danios, they seem to be just fat enough to avoid becoming lunch!

I disagree. Only WE see a reflection because of the angle we are viewing the tank at, the fish sees nothing of the sort, in all fact a lot of experienced goldfish enthusiasts actually prefer a bare bottom tank, it's clean, with proper filtration waste gets sucked right up, and once the goldfish gets bigger you also don't have to worry about them joking on gravel. Bare bottom tanks are actually very good for goldfish and doesn't disturb the fish at all. The only downside to a bare bottom tank is that it isn't exactly "aesthetically pleasing", otherwise I total win.
