Beta fish swimming at an angle?

My fish seems to be swimming/hanging out strangly. He's leaning against things in the tank at kind of an angle, and though he moves when the tank is poked, he goes back to the weird angle, at the very surface of the water.
The water is about 80 degrees and I just changed it a little bit ago. Does it need to be changed again? Does it need new dechrolinator? Is he sick? And what do you do with a sick fish?
Answers:
Your betta may have swim bladder disease which is often caused by overfeeding.

Please visit this website http://www.bettatalk.com/betta_diseases..

It's an excellent resource for betta health and care. Scroll down the page and read all about swim bladder and other ailments that are common in bettas.

And don't listen to those who tell you your betta is on his last fins. This disease does not have to be fatal.

Good Luck!
