Over the past year and a half I've lost quite a few fish in this tank, all from the same problem.
Any thoughts on what I might have and how to treat?

may sound odd but separate them off and add some Epsom salt to the water. it works as a laxative and I have had a pretty good success rate with it, as I know what your going through. try to catch it early if possible and you have better chance of saving fish, once it gets as bloated as one in pic then you usually is way to late to save it. some signs to look for is hiding in the corners ect. espicially during feeding time, ( not feeding or spitting out food) hope this helps

It looks like dropsy to me. I looked around the web to find a good explanation - this one is pretty good. It talks about the various causes and treatments. http://aquaworld.net...ease/Dropsy.htm
Basically, the site says that the cause is either viral (with secondary bacterial infection), or organ malfunction due to overfeeding.
