they are fine for now, but will ALL need to be moved into a pond later on.
Because they are commons and comets, they will grow to be at least a foot. One of those needs at least a 55 gallon tank when full grown. However you could put 2 fancy goldfish in a 30 gallon because those only get about 6-8 inches. but it sounds like you already got the fish!

So you have a fancy, two commons and a comet? There is no such thing as a red cap common unless you mean they have red patches on their heads. Your fish will be fine in this tank for a number of months but the commons will get way too large to be kept inthe tank, while the comet and fancy can stay
