Cichlid won't move but water is fine?

Question

I have a female south american cichlid and the water is in great conditions including temperature, there's some algae - but i do need a new filter.

But she's been staying in one spot on the floor for over a week now. She only moves when I feed her and she doesn't "attack" it as fast as she usually does.

She looks depressed and it's depressing me..lol

Help, please? I'm very concerned...

Answer 1

Call the place you got her from. I have NO clue. lol.

Answer 2

i don't know how it got sick but maybe it is sick... tell the pet store and they probably could do something to help it get better

Answer 3

what kind of cichlid is it

and when you say the water is fine what are the different levels like ammonia nitrite nitrate

it's very hard to anwser a question that is so limited with info

right now all I would sujest is feeding it some shelled peas

since the range of possiabilties is so far reaching
