Not sure what to do, I noticed it yesterday and its only getting worse. I have had him for months and my other fish are doing fine. I think its due to over feeding frozen foods but I am not sure (I feed every other day a mix of frozen baby brine, blood worms and ciclid mix frozen food) I have him in the main tank and he is just laying on the bottom. 

How do I help him?

You could try Epsom salt baths 1 table for 2 gallons for no more than 15 minutes for a couple of days as Epsom salt acts as a muscle relaxant to help relieve pressure on the swim bladder caused by constipation or your fish over eating and the stomach putting pressure on the swim bladder
