Elephant 1 Nose Fish, 5 Cardinal Tetra, 3 Clown Loach and 1 Black Ghost Knife Fish. Will these live toether without any problems??

The elephant noses are notoriously finicky eaters, and would get out competed for food with all those other fish. The clown loaches also like a high water flow and will eventually out grow your tank. The ghost knife fish doesn't like high water flow and will also quickly out grow your tank. Also keep in mind that all of the above species like warm water which gold fish can live in, but may be more prone to getting digestive problems because of it. They'll also make a whole lot more poo, which is bad since they already poo a whole lot as it is.

IMO look for more temperate water species such as rosy barbs, zebra danios, peppered cory catfish, and maybe dojo loaches.

Well you have to remember it is afterall your aquarium and you can do what you like with it. I like the advice people can offer on here (alot of knowledgeable people) and i like that i have the choice whether to take it.

Noah is right and 24-26 degrees is a bit too warm, but then again you know the experiences of others so you can make a decision based on what you think is acceptable.

I think people sometimes stick to rules about certain species and issues a little too rigid sometimes. Depending on tank size set up etc, things work for some and do not for others. If that's what you want to do and at least try it then don't be put off by the 'You can't do that, sorry' type comments.

It's your tank so take whichever advice you will, but most of all research it thoroughly for yourself and make a decision based on YOUR research. Good Luck mate.
