Their butts get messed up when they bloat. Could be that.

I would get water tested, feed less, and medicate with metro. If you have any more problems call me.

I don't like turning away sales, but we need to make sure your tank is healthy before we add more fish. The tang idea is great, but they are sometimes more delicate, so we need to find out why they are dying. Find out how your water test and let me know. Then we can go from there.

Jon makes a very good point, If your water parm's are way off you are stressing your fish which in turn can and will cause problems like bloat and many other problems. Also what you feed and the types of fish you are keeping can and will cause problems. As Jon stated don't keep adding fish until you know what is going on with your tank.
