hi
i have 2 native north american fish. a blue spotted sunfish- adult 2” long
and a rainbow darter- adult about 3 1/2”
they both prefer cool freshwater.
my shubunkin ( not sure of spelling- can’t search without losing this message) goldfish. she is in perfect health but definitely needs a bigger tank. about 4” including tail.
can i safely put her into the 30 gallon tank with those fish?
 
Do not put native fishes in tanks with domestic fish because the domestic fish like goldfish can carry diseases that the native fish have no immunity to. Then the native fish die.

If you have native fish, put them into a clean tank that has not had any introduced species in.
