Answer
Hi Nichole

If you're seeing the other fish going after the goldfish, it probably attacked him and tore the eye out.  I'd recommend removing the aggressive fish, either take it back to the store or get a separate tank for it-but don't leave them together.  I just read a story from someone who's goldfish ended up losing both eyes to a fish fight.  

Pick up some MelaFix and some aquarium salt from the pet store.  Dose the tank accoriding to instructions on the labels.  The MelaFix is a natural medicine that will help prevent bacteria, it's good for fight injuries, when adding new fish, etc.  

Good luck and hope that helps!!
