What should you do? Nothing. Color changes and variations in Goldfish are common. Just feed a 75% veggie/25% protein diet, allow 30 g per Goldfish, keep your nitrates under 20 ppm and you're good to go

really? coz now its tail is covered with black is this ok? or need some medication?
It sounded like you meant you'd noticed the darkening over the course of the 2 months you'd had him. Is that not the case? If it's something that happened overnight that's different. Then again I sure wouldn't start tossing in meds if I didn't know what it was. Might be a good idea to post tank size, tankmates, ammonia, nitrite & nitrate reading (with a liquid test tube kit, not strips), water change schedule, etc.
Any kind of veggies will do-zucchini, peas, plants, spirilina, about any kind of greens.
