    i dont really know what to say. i dont think there is a quick fix. give him some time. maybe lights out will keep him calm and everyone else from bugging him while he is huge and probably not as active.

    i know some fresh water fish can get bloat. can salt water ones also? and i guess in this case an angel.

    Parasite maybe? My mom had this happen to one of her fish - unfortunately it didn't make it. Try Googling it.

    Could be dropsy?

    Also could be constipation. Is he acting weird at all?
