Dragon,

It's a nice looking tank. However, mixing tropical fish and cold water fish is pretty tricky. The various species of "sharks" and gouramis require different tank conditions than the goldfish require. Please feel free to enjoy the site.

The goldfish(carps) are cold water, everything else you mentioned is tropical. The problem with keeping the two together is that colder water can hold more dissolved oxygen, which the goldies need, but it suppresses the immune systems of the tropicals. So if you warm it up to bring the tropicals immune systems closer to normal, the cold water fish have difficulty getting enough oxygen. So whichever way you go, it won't be optimal for one, either or both(both if you go with a middle temp).
Breeding occurs when conditions are optimal for most fish, so it is doubtful that any will occur while you keep both types in the same tank without one type suffering from the wrong conditions.
Sorry to be such a wet blanket.
