Also, crayfish DO eat fish when given the chance (Ex. When they are sleeping). If the fish are of larger variety, they will be injured. Fast moving fish do best with crayfish, while larger/slower ones (Ex. Goldfish, platies) will most likely end up on the crayfishes' menu someday. Especially the goldfish, as they are big, rather slow, and have long fins.

I am sorry about criticizing your tank, but I am just hoping these fish can be given a environment that will allow them to live a happy life.

The goldfish definitely needs to be in a larger tank, as they get pretty big (about 8 inches).

The gouramis,red tailed shark, and platies are tropical fish whereas goldfish live in cold water. Depending on if you have a heater, one of them might be stressed.

The crayfish are HIGHLY territorial, so they might fight. Don't be surprised if one day you find one of them without a limb. However, because of your tank size, I think you might be able to get away with having two.
