I have a 35 gal freshwater tank with oodles of fish in it, I'm looking to kick a few out into a 10 gal and was wounding if anyone has input or advice to share.

Current fish in tank
1 large angel plus 2 smaller angels
1 3 inch long oranda goldfish
1 small lionshead goldfish
1 lazy 8 inch ropefish
1 6 inch Senegal bichir
1 3 inch fantail molly
1 leopard Cory
1 small longfin bristlenose Pleco
And 3 small comet goldfish waiting to get eaten...

I have 2 filters going due to the large amount of fish, 50% water changes every week and I have a variety of food I mix together in a large cup which I dump in about twice a day including frozen bloodworms, tropical flakes, bottomfeeder pellets, betta food (used to have a betta), cucumber pieces, and occasionally some popcorn shrimp as a treat.

What I would do is set up a cold water tank for just the goldfish. They should not be mixed with tropicals.
 
I dont know if its the photo or the actual tank, but the water looks very cloudy. Do you really need to feed your fish twice daily? If it did that, I would need to do water change twice weekly. Are the fish at the top alot?
I have had my goldfish with my tropicals for years now in a 210g. The only thing I would say, goldfish get to around 10-12", especially when fed constantly and kept in warmer water.
 
I've been thinking about taking the goldfish out because the larger one is starting to get territorial and fight with the angels, I doubt any of them will bug the bichir. But i will decrease the food I feed them because the tank is a bit cloudy, it was faar worse before I put a second filter in, also I'm increasing water changes to around once every 4 days.. So main question should I remove the goldfish completely and replace with more tropical semi aggressive fish or keep them in? Any suggestions as to what fish would be a good replacement, and not get eaten by the bichir would be greatly appreciated.

Mmk so over the last few nights the tanks turned into a warzone, my largest fish, the oranda had both eyes torn out and is swimming around blindly, one angel got ripped to shreds as well as the Molly, plus another angel is missing almost all it's fins as well as the betta... All in 2 nights, anyone know what might be happening?

Probably the bichir?
