Green Terror Unable to Swim PLEASE HELP

[Rengadefin]

Hi,
I have a two year old green terror fish. He suddenly began to swim sideways in the tank. I took him out of our tank from the other fish into a small aquarium with the old tanks water, Our other fish are oscars and a parrot fish. He is trying to swim straight but just seems to flop back over on his side. He cant move to eat. I checked the water and everything is perfect. Hes been swiming on his side now for 3days, i'm worried hes going to starve to death.

Please help, ive heard it might possibly be constipation but i dont know what to do

What exactly are your water parameters?
Waht test kit did you use?
What foods did you feed him last?
Temperature in current tank?
Filtration?

I have been searching on the web in regards of this green terror swimming issue, and I found this: http://en.allexperts.com/q/Fish-1472/2009/8/Sinking-Green-Terror.htm. It is quite likely a swim bladder issue.

I also found this video on youtube in regards an "artificial swim bladder": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeRCwejE7ek. Hope it can help you in some way.
