If you add a new fish in a tank, would the other fish bully the new fish or will they get along well

Question

I'm thinking of adding a new goldfish to my tank because one recently died :( 
I have three other goldfishes in the tank and they aren't fully grown adults yet.
So if I add a new fish to the tank would the other fish start bulling the new one? (All my goldfish are just common goldfishes)

Answer

Depends, how do the fish treat each other? I had 3 goldfish, and two of them died, one got swimbladder, and the other had parasite issues, I got another one, and he being much weaker than the rest, was last to all the food. One night, my sister and I found him dead at the bottom of the tank.
I would say:
Make sure the fish are nice to each other already
and make sure the new fish is strong. 
hope this helps,
Y

Answer

Probably not, in my experience with Goldfish I've never had common goldfish that bullied eachother. The only reason I think they'd fight is because the tank is too small, that brings me to a question, how many gallons is your tank?

Answer

My fish did attack the new one but you can use the old trick of taking them out, re-arranging everything and create new territory so they don't fight. My new fish lovesssss my other one now they never leave each other's side :)
