Its an apple snail and probably of the bridgesi species due to your plants not appearing eaten. Your veiltail betta splenden (guessing by the tail in the 2nd pic) is not compatible with other gouramis and will not bully a snail although if you see fish attacking the sensory horns which extend out of the head then the snail should be removed.

Goldfish may eat snails depends on the size of the snail and size of the goldy. Chinese algae eaters are also debatable over whether they eat snails.... If any snail can survive it will be an apple they have a tough shell and a door which they can close on their shell to prevent attack in their vulnerable fleshy foot. Java loach as in black khuli? They won't eat snails but should be in groups of 5+ to be content and need a 10+ gallon tank so wouldn't be suitable with the betta in such a small tank.

The goldfish are the biggest predators in their at the moment. 5 khulis ect. would all be fine together although the two fish you said you were going to rehome need to be for it to be safe.
