Start some Epsom salts it'll help as a laxative.

+1 dose the water if he isn't eating. The epsom salts won't hurt the fish.
If I were you, I'd also soak 2-3 algae wafers in a heavy epsom salt solution and then drop them in just on the off chance he picks at them it will help get the salts into his system.
