This depends on the size of your tank. They can grow as large as ten inches in a pond. I purchased a feeder golfish 8 years ago and today in my ten gallon tank she is around 5 inches.

What is the differences from a goldfish and a feeder fish?
a goldfish is a feeder fish. I kind of disagree with the answer above. Yes, goldfish CAN be feeder fish, but they aren't necessarily feeder fish. Feeder fish are really fish that are rather small and are fed to other animals, and that are for some reason thought as not being as precious as other "pet" fish. So a feeder fish and a pet fish are two different kinds of fish, really. Not all goldfish are feeder fish. There are expensive goldfish, more than 10 dollars per fish! Then there are those goldfish breeded to be eaten that are sold as 75 cents per fish. So there are "pet" goldfish and "feeder" goldfish. So, a goldfish is not necessarily a feeder fish.

Do calico telescope goldfish eat feeder goldfish?
Only if the "feeder Goldfish" - which is usually just a mutt bred Common/Comet Goldfish, is very small and the Telescope is an adult. If it fits in their mouth, that's where it will end up! However, "feeder" Goldfish have the potential to get over 10"-12" excluding tail fin, and a large one of these could very easily fatally injure a more fragile fancy Telescope Goldfish. The two varieties should never be mixed.
Is koi fish food and goldfish food the same?
Not neccessarilly all feeder fish are goldfish. Feeder fish are usually those fairly small fish that are regarded as being not suitable for sale as specimens for some reason. They often are poorly coloured or deformed livebearers and other species too. Yes, I agree with the answer above. I am sad to see the feeder goldfish they sell in such terrible conditions! My fancy goldfish were almost 10 dollars each, and the feeder goldfish were 75 cents!
