Re: we have been keeping keeping goldfish for the past 5 years
They're supposed to be eaiser to keep and hardier then goldfish. I find the danio species to be pretty much bomb proof.

I am sure someone with more experience then myself will be along later with more information for you

Re: we have been keeping keeping goldfish for the past 5 years
In general tropicals are slightly hardier than goldfish and are also less demanding when it comes to the space required by these fish, however the term 'tropical fish' is very broad and there are quite a few species that are only suitable for experienced fishkeepers. The secret to success in all branches of the fishkeeping hobby is research.

Before we recommend anything however we will need to know some information on the tank size, your budget and what fish tickle your fancy.

Re: we have been keeping keeping goldfish for the past 5 years
I have both and I do find that the tropical fish are easier to care for. My goldfish are mucky pups! The only tropical fish I have had a problem with are the guppies, I just don't seem to be able to keep those for some reason. For the last 7 years I have had tetras (neons, black widows), corydoras, plecos, silver sharks, hatchet fish, angels). I would love a marine tank one day too.
