sounds like typical swim bladder... since you have the flakes, to protect the other goldies in the tank whole feeding these, soak the flakes either prior to introducing them at feeding or hold the pinch you are feeding below the water surface (not as good as soaking, IMO).

It seems like you are doing the right things... hopefully, the peas will work it out.
