Can you describe what the injury looks like? neons and other goldfish wont nip the fins of a goldfish.. Are the other 3 fish tiger barbs? (there are over 35 different fish food contains with pictures of fish on them, so im guessing..)tiger barbs are nipping fish.. they need to be in schools or they chase the other fish. If you keep them in schools of 6 or more they do better. Im surprised you even run a 150 gallon tank for only 8 fish, considering its 6 feet long.

I have had goldfish that went from gold to white, also black gold fish that turned gold. I wouldn't worry about them changing colour the just do that...but if the tail or fins are being damaged then you need to take the fish out of the tank.

get a smaller tank, the other fish probely can't find enough food, so he went cannibal, maybe get a 10 gallon till they get about 3 - 4 inches, then u can probely put them in the 150.
p.s. if u have those goldfish in that size of a tank they'll get huge, u can probely get a koi to, they get between 12 - 24 inches
