Thanks for all your suggestions guys, but the little guy didn't make it... I'm going to bury him in the garden now... I can't believe how quickly this all happened! What precaution should I be taking with my man tank? There's Melafix in there now and the other two goldies seem very normal...
Update is not good. He's now even weaker and breathing is very shallow. Still bleeding occasionally from his anus. He's not even able to stay upright anymore ?

Huzzah! I think I have managed to help the little Oranda reset his gut after 4 days of frozen peas diet. I moved back to pre-soaked flakes today and he isn't floating anymore! :lol: Thanks again guys, for all your useful suggestions.
Thanks for the link Jsoong! Much appreciated. I've just spoken to the guy at the LFS and I'm now starting a pea diet (should also try the zuchini soon) for about 5 days to a week before feeding them dry food again. This is day one of the pea diet and the Oranda isn't floating after eating :)...
