I do only give them once a week, I tried steamed broccoli but they didn't care for it. I have plants that have no leaves, just stems.. they can't over eat?

I tried for an hour to get a video to upload and realized it only allows pictures, so I took a screen shot. They have no marks, no bumps, hard to tell in the photo what is going on, but they just float when they aren't swimming.

Repashy Gold, shelled peas and blood worms, not all at the same time. I was told to feed them every other day to help with buoyancy, water parameters are good, ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate .25. They love their food, don't spit it out and are active, no gasping at the top. Have a fluval 407 cannister filter and air bubbler. They are in a 'bare" tank right now with just anubias, which they don't eat and seem to be doing better, I put them back in on Saturday and gave them peas last night.

Thank you for getting back to me, I have been looking for Maracyn and maracyn2, it is hard to find anything for fish in Canada. I crossed the border a few weeks ago to stock up on medicine. I wish I grabbed this when I saw it. I will keep looking.

Hello, I have 4 Oranda goldfish, all around 3.5 inches and 3 of them seem to have buoyancy issues and I believe it is due to them constantly eating the plants in the aquarium. I have taken out the plants that are easiest to eat, small leaf plants and slowly transitioning to more Anubis as those are the only ones they have yet to nibble on as well as 2 fake plants. I've also moved them into a bare tank temporarily with some Epsom salt and a heater as it was recommended online and from our local fish store. Also, I have not fed them for 2 days. I have reduced feeding as they pretty much have a buffet in the aquarium with the plants. I feed them peas twice a week and brine shrimp once a week. I was feeding them repashy gold, but since the buoyancy issues I have stopped as they are constantly eating. They are like puppies with a toy, grab the leaves and shake the plant, as cute as it is, I believe it is causing them this issue. My question is, when I resume feedings, I will give them peas to start, but do I continue regular feedings after even though they are eating the plants? I had Orandas before that did not care for the plants, this is new to me, and I don't want it to get worse.
