My O has been at the bottom of his tank for the past couple of days. Today I went in and he was all the way on his side barely moving his gills. I tried to provoke him to see if he moved at all. He moved very slowly and only a couple of inches. Also he has refused to eat within the last two weeks. His breathing seems stressed and I am not sure what the problem is. I seem to have had nothing but problems with this guy. First he went blind, then no eating, now this. SO is it just that he is sulking or what? Anyone else had this problem before?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I don't know if pics would help but they can be available if need be.
He is in a 50g with an EHEIM 2215 and an Odyssea HOB rated around 50 gallons. The tank temp is around 80 degrees Fahrenheit. His tankmates are 2 common plecos (one 6 1/2" the other 3") and a 1 1/2" Kenyi cichlid(only place I had for him since my convict kept picking on the O). I can't tell you the parameters of the tank(I don't have a test kit
) except the pH which is right around 7.6.
Thanks for your help and reading in advance.

A bigger tank is hopefully on the way.
