What is your waterchange schedule (%/frequency), and your filtration?
Also, Plecos and bettas are tropical fish, and should not be kept with coldwater fish.

i know that, the betta tank has a very good filteration and heater plus light,
my water stats are as followed
betta tank
same water stats as 3ft
3ft
150 hardness
7.0 ph
0 ammonia
0 nitrites
4ft
89 hardness
7.0 ph
0 ammonia
0 nitrites
external filters on both cant remember how big
but they are bigger then needed
i do a water change every week about 40% each time with a good gravel clean

Once again, I need the name of your filter (brand/model).
Water parameters are trivial if you don't have sufficient filtration.

goldfish cant go in community tanks. theyre coldwater and their best tankmates are weather loaches.
even the warmer water tolerating goldfish wont work, most slow moving ones will get their fins nipped
