Oh wow! It looks fabulous! I miss my guppies...there's a rule in the house: Limit Three tanks running at a time...and well...the little brother got in to the hobby and I lost my freshwater tank...the guppies got given to the neighbor though, so they have a nice home. =)
It's really pretty though, nice aquascaping!

Gold fish and regualr fresh water fish have different temps, pH, hardness, and alot more things, i still dont think they can be kept together. Notice in fish stores they are separt too
