Answer
Hi Brandon, your cichlid probably is either paralyzed or the water qualities in your tank are off. I would bring a sample of your water to your pet store and they will tell you exactly which water levels are off and tell you exactly they supply you need to fix it. For right now I would add aquarium salt to relieve the stress from your fish. Good Luck!
