Goldfish are known for being messy due to food they don't eat sits on the bottom of the tank.Catfish are bottom feeders that eat the uneaten food.

If you are referring to catfish of the Cory variety then almost any community fish will be compatible. Some examples are Angelfish, Zebras, Rummy-nosed tetras, Guppies, Pleclostomous, Head and taillights, Gouramis, Hatchetfish, and Loaches.
