When I first turned on the pump after a while I could see everything covered in little bubbles with in the tank. Then I played a round with the flow valve which made the whole thing a bit noisier so I reset it now there are no bubbles in the tank. Just a bit concerned that the fish have a enough oxygen?????

If the pump is running they should be OK. You'll know if not, they'll come to the surface "gasping"Yes, they are all just fancy goldfish, they are a bit more delicate and would really struggle outside with winter temperatures and competing for food, so keep them snug indoors. Some regular live food will help stop them turning into lop-sided dropsical floaters. But don't count on it. My personal opinion is that these 'fancy' breeds should be discouraged, they are cruelly deformed really.

Daphnia, bloodworm, brineshrimp . etc. loads of online suppliers, frozen or dead fresh packed is OK.Although, earthworms chopped into small chunks are perfect.
You can id the variety of your goldfish like the Moor from here, but they aren't always clear cut.
