how long have you had him? Any tankmates? Recent additions? Been keeping up your water quaility?
 
had him for over a month with the same tank mates all cichlids except 3 small goldfish i havent had time to get rid of...they have also been with us for over a month...water was just tested last week and was fine. no new additions
 
I am sorry. Is it possible it is a wound from another fish? Anyway, if you have some melafix, I would add that immediately.

Cant really tell what it is by that picture. Up the temperature and add aquarium salt. That will help the fishes immune system in case its a bacteria/fungal. Also try and get a better picture.
