sick cichlid?

Question
Hi, I have had my cichlids in a 25g tank now for about 1week now and they
are all doing fine except for one electric yellow. Its stomach is small because
when it puts food in its mouth it spits it right out. Also it usually keeps its fins
really close to its body. All the other fish are fine and I take very good care of
my tank changing the water as recommended and checking it every day for
ammonia and nitrates. If you can please help with my problem it would
greatly be appreciated. Thanks

Hi Jordan,
  I don't think that there is anything special that you can do other than keep offering the fish food and hopefully it will start eating.  Many times fish are reluctant to eat new or different food from what they are used to but eventually they will give it a try.  

 Be sure that you do not let any uneaten food sit around in the tank rotting. That will quickly cause problems with your water chemistry.
