Hmm, that's very strange behaviour for a goldfish. But goldfish are schooling fish and should not be kept alone. When a schooling fish is kept alone they may become nasty.

There is no reason why you shouldn't be able to expand your schools though, even if it's a bit tricky when the other fish have already established a teritory.
Usually just floating the bag in the tank is enough to introduce newbies, but if you are having trouble I'd take the current residents out, rearange some ornaments and introduce them all together.
Generally it's also a good idea to have more females then males, though gendering tetras in a store, or even at home is kind of hard.

Your tetras will prolly hide less if you add more plants btw. They're fish from the amazon, and thus in nature live between the roots of trees and heavilly planted areas. They're not too fond of bright lights.

first ones are serpe tetras, spelled fanetically so forgive me, and the others are rosy barbs. i know this for i own both and i'm a huge fanatic on fish... too big some may say. the barbs may get aggressive as other barbs do in a school of less than 5. and the serpes need to school, but are less aggressive. it is the black spot and fins that give the serpes away ^_^ the serpes will gain more color with age, and pro color fish food will speed that up. ^_^
