You should feed your fish only as much as it can eat in 2 to 3 minutes twice per day. Goldfish are known to appear as though they are hungry all the time, but this is just a ploy to get more unneeded food.
If your goldfish has red patches, is losing its tail and has a fin clamped shut, this could mean that it is sick. You should take it to a vet if possible.
I have had my goldfish for 12 years and in the last 2 years it has developed a habit of splashing with it's tail as I walk by . It does this about 2 times a day when it is hungry. If I don't feed it it will splash every time I walk by until I do feed it.
Having your goldfishes tail turn white could mean your goldfish is sick but it could also just be new tail growth.When goldfish grow new tail tissue it may appear white or grayish.This usually happens when a goldfish isn't fully grown .If it is new tail growth than it will be on the end and tips of the fish's tail not the whole tail.

There are many different types of goldfish. The Comet and the Common goldfish are often the ones most seen. Black Moor, Bubble Eye, Butterfly Tail, Celestial Eye, Fantail, Lionchu, Lionhead, Oranda are some other commonly known goldfish.
The butterfly tail goldfish usually measures in at 6-7 inches. They are condsidered to be medium in size compared to other goldfish. Their closest relative, the fantail goldfish, is slightly smaller at about 4-6 inches in length.
The shape of a fishes tail is decided by its genetic makeup. There is no "treatment" for a bent tail.
My goldfish Fan tail is attacking my small gold fish, they have been together for over a month now but has only recently started to nibble at the smaller goldfish, how can i stop this

Not neccessarilly. You probably need to change its water more often and if possible get a fish tank (aquarium) to put it in. Bowls are not the best containers for goldfish.
Well you shall feed them once when you wake up and when you go to bed
