Goldfish need at minimum 20 gallons for one fish, plus 10 gallons for each additional goldfish being added to the tank; this means that fro 3 goldfish, you need at minimum a 40 gallon tank.
It's not just about their potential size as adults, which is big, but because they are very messy fish and produce a very high amount of waste.

Can an oranda goldfish live in same tank with regular goldfish?
Yes, but your tank size needs to support it. If you mean that a regular goldfish is a long single-tail goldfish, then you need at least a 40 gallon tank just for the 2 fish due to the size potential of the common goldfish. If you mean a regular goldfish as in a round bodied fantail, or perhaps a ryukin, then you need at least a 30 gallon tank for the 2 fish.
If your goldfish is about 2 and a half inches long how big does its tank need to be?
Regardless of the type or size of goldfish the minimum acceptable size of an aquarium for a goldfish is 30 gallons. Buy a tank that is at least 30 gallons if you plan to have goldfish. You can comfortably fit 3 goldfish in a tank this size but no goldfish in a tank any smaller. Goldfish are essentially pond fish and need lots of space to swim; they will not thrive in a small aquarium.
How does the size of a goldfish tank affect the growth of the goldfish?

How does a goldfish grow as a size of a foot when in seawater and still the same size when in a bowl?
Goldfish release growth-inhibiting hormones into the water they live in: the more goldfish in a smaller space, the less likely they are to grow. For instance, if I have a common goldfish in a 5 gallon tank, it will grow to about the same size if I had 6 of the same fish in a 30 gallon tank. But leave that fish alone in a 30 gallon tank, and it will grow larger. This is why pond goldfish grow bigger. But goldfish won't grow at all in seawater; they aren't saltwater fish.

The recommended tank size for keeping a goldfish in a healthy environment is at least 20 gallons for the first fish and an additional 10 gallons for each additional fish.
