My goldfish has been killing off my other in the tank because of his high ammonia levels. I now only have 4 fish (not goldfish) living in the tank and I had to take the goldfish out. I didn't really have a choice because I wanted to save the other fish but now the goldfish is in a small bowl because it was all I had. I feel sorry for the little guy. :(

Please! Is there anyway that my goldfish can live in the tank without killing the others?
 
No. You should never put goldfish with other fish. You already know this obviously because you said goldfish release too much ammonia. Goldfish also need colder water and higher current.
You also need to take your goldfish out of the bowl, he will not survive long with out a filter.
When I worked at a petstore (for 2 years), I refused to sell goldfish to people unless they were putting it in a filtered tank.
 
What size is the fish tank, what kind of filter do you have, what kind of lighting does the tank have and how often do you have it on?

Also, what are the other fish?

You can keep some other species with goldfish with proper filtration and water changes. Some fish best suited to be kept with Goldfish are White Cloud Minnows, Rosy Red Minnows, Giant danios, Rubbernose plecos, Rosy barb, and Weather, hillstream or dojo Loaches.


Also, remember, that a singular goldfish, to reach its optimum health and size, needs ten gallons.
