i'm going to get an 90 gal tank. currently i have 1 black moor. and 1 other fancy gold fish with a bristle nose pleco. what else could fit in the tank?
 
Your only option really is more Fancy Goldfish. I'd suggest 6 max, less if you don't have excellent filtration rated for above 180-gallons, and I'd trade the Bristle Nose in for a Common Pleco if you must have a Pleco, as they are more able to tolerate lower temperatures and the high amounts of ammonia produced by the Goldfish. Really though, Goldfish should only be kept with Goldfish.
 
Since you've started with golds, you need to stay with golds. The two that you have can go with other fancys...don't get comets,koi or shubunkins. These other types of golds will probably become fin nippers with any fancys...I know for a fact koi can be. As for the pleco, they are not really need for goldfish as they are quite good at finding any uneaten food in the tank. Plus since they need cooler water, some plecos need warmer temps. Be sure and have the best filtration system you can get and heavy oxygenation and your golds will do great.
