Hi! I have a question and it’s an r emergency. I rescued 2 comet goldfish from a tank that was so small and dirty. They have ammonia burns all over. My issue is that I only have 2 options of tanks to put them in and they’re both bad. The first is a 30 gallon with two axolotls and the other one is 2 bettas in a 20. I know they fight so I don’t want to add anything that would cause them to. Please tell me what your Advice would be! Thank you! Also side note I am hoping to relocate goldfish back to original owner after they get a 5 gallon w a filter they just ask me to take it in for now. But are goldfish compatible with axolotls and after I get rid of these can I put possibly one oranda cap?
 
I don't keep fish, but I guess just keep them in dechlorinated water and do regular water changes until you have a larger tank and cycle it. It's not really rescuing if you don't have a safe environment ready for them.
 
goldfish which are an ornamental carp are incompatible with axolotls, if the goldfish are small they will get eaten, if they are too large to be eaten they will harass and nip the axolotls gills.
oranda caps are a breed of goldfish but don't tend to get as big, they can still be aggressive towards axolotls and are also incompatible.
female beta's (Siamese fighters) aren't as aggressive as male beta's although large females can display bullying tendencies towards smaller females, the males tend to be quite placid unless another male is introduced (they have been known to attack male guppies due to confusion because of tail fins), they only tend to attack other species during breeding and are very protective of their bubble nests.
due to how boisterous goldfish can be they aren't compatible with beta's.
due to size goldfish get 5 gallons is too small, small tanks tend to stunt their growth and reduce life span.

I didn’t say 5 gallons I have 30 gallon for axolotl and 20 for betta I feel bad for goldfish shld I give them back? They have tons of burns from ammonia. (They’re comer goldfish)

on the bottom of your first post you put " Also side note I am hoping to relocate goldfish back to original owner after they get a 5 gallon w a filter they just ask me to take it in for now" the comment made wasn't aimed at what care you were giving them but.
unfortunately unless you can house them separately or perhaps partition one of your tanks you will have to pass the goldfish onto someone who has room, as for treatment of ammonia burns with goldfish use tonic salts (normally cheaper if brought for ponds rather than for aquariums).
