Two: There's commons and comets (Comets have longer fins). These are generally excluded from the "fancy" category. If you see a sign in your pet store labelling a non-fancy goldfish as "shubunkin", that's just the coloration. It's either a common goldfish, or a comet-tailed one.
The best and only good tank mate for fancy goldfish, are other fancy goldfish.
Fancy goldfish can be male or female.

There are many similarities between angelfish and goldfish- to name one angelfish and fancy goldfish (especially the oranda) both have several long delicate fins.
They are a fancy goldfish (Carassius auratus). They were bred to have scales that look like pearls.
Shubunkins are goldfish, so therefore mixing goldfish with goldfish is usually not a problem. However, if the other goldfish are fancy then mixing them together would not be recommended.
Goldfish should be fine with other non-agressive coldwater fish. Be wary of fin-nippers as well, especially if your goldfish are the longer-tailed varieties. If you have fancy goldfish, especially the types like telescope eyes with poor vision, be sure your other fish are not so much faster than your fancy that it can't get to the food before it's all gone. Goldfish do not mix well with tropicals as the temperature requirements are too different.
