I Need Oranda Help, Please!

[LENN]

My oranda is dying (i think), but i don`t know what`s wrong.

I have three Oranda Goldfish. I started noticing that one of them was floating sideways and started forming this white film on his tail, but he was`t dead. I separated him from the tank and my dad said that i was just over-feeding him. after a few days he got better (not floating, although he was sunk at the bottom). I kept him there for another day just to be safe, but today i see that his tail is falling apart and he's still not swimming aroiund. Does anyone know what`s wrong with my fish? :[

Please Help, Thanks.

This is classic swimbladder misplacement, i used to have orandas and veiltail goldfish also had a few black moors too, the problem with these fish is the way they have been bred to conform to their bodyshape, if you look at them they have a very rounded body, and compair that to standard goldfish, they arnt supposed to be like that naturally.
So the Swimbladder which in goldfish is a long staight organ that inflates and deflates and enables the fish to rise and fall in the tank become misplaced as the fish grows, it doesnt grow in the same proportion. Floating is very common particualy in black moors and can be caused by gas trapped in the swimbladder and causes the fish the float, this is more treatable provided the fish doesnt get too stressed. Sinking is a very hard one, i had a goldfish sunk for about three months and i put it to sleep in the end as i felt so sorry for it. There is not much you can do, i tried every medication on the shelf, live food can help daphnia is a good laxative, but i doubt thats the problem. di

Size of tank in gallons or litres.
Water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.

It could be a number of things from bad water quality, bacterial.
Also to many dried foods can lead to swim bladder and constipation.
Fins falling apart if not nipped can be bacterial finrot to fish tb, bad water quality.
