I got up this morning and my poor oranda fish could not swim upright and has now sadly died. It is the second fish I have lost like this in six months. I don't think I can face getting anymore as it seems to be a common problem. They are beautiful fish. Does anyone here keep orandas and has swim bladder happened to you?

Unfortunately that seems pretty common with that kind of goldfish. I've kept orandas in the past without any such problems, so I don't have any experience with it, but here's a link you might find useful:

There's a ton of information online about keeping goldfish; there's a lot more to it than people think if you want them to be happy and healthy! Good luck

Thank you for taking the time to reply and post helpful information. Hopefully my last oranda will not meet the same fate.
