Fishtailing is typically caused by a spine issue. If your spine is too weak or too stiff, then your arrow will not clear the riser of the bow cleanly (see archers paradox). Fishtailing can also be caused by torquing your grip or other form errors. If your are shooting vanes then fishtailing might be caused by a clearance issue.
To address fishtailing, address form issues. If the problem persists, make sure your vanes are clearing your rest cleanly. If you shoot traditional (off the shelf with feathers) then your problem probably isn't clearance. At this point fix your spine. I do this by bareshaft tuning, done out to twenty yards. To confirm that my spine is correct, I shoot through paper, and shoot big fixed blade broadheads. This should address any fishtailing issues.

What is the best arrows to shoot from a right hand longbow left helical right helical straight?
doesnt matter really. the arrow comes off the string exactly the same whether or not you are right or left handed, right or left helical makes no difference unless you are shooting twisted knocks (which I doubt you are). If sound is an issue to you and you would like for your arrow flight to be quieter then shoot them at 0 degrees. they will be less accurate though. it also depends on whether or not you are shooting blazers, feathers, vanes, duravanes....
