Fish of all kinds (including goldfish) will pick on a weak fish if there is one in their vicinity. In general goldfish are peacefull. During spawning season (spring) though, the males will be seen nudging the females in order to get them spawning. So no, they do not normally 'pick on their tank mates'.
