the goldie will eat the shrimps and eventually the otto, he needs his own 20 gallon tank.

Yup, that would be my advice too.

At least a 20 gallon for the goldfish. Lots of surface agitation for oxygen exchange. Feed it sinking goldfish pellets to help avoid swim bladder problems. Really good filtration needed and lots of water changes. They're poop machines

Ottos are shrimp and shrimplet safe. The goldfish is not.
