I know it's normal for them to sometimes lie on their sides, but one of mine has been lying on its side since yesterday. I checked on it this morning and it's still alive but it's in the same place as it was yesterday.

I'm worried that there might be something wrong with it
 
Hi, what size of tank?
What's the parameters?
What stock is there in with him?


70 gallon elephant nose tank.
30 gallon boraras , red longfin bristlenose, bamboo shrimp, crs,rcs and different snails.
7 gallon halfmoon betta and red ramshorn.

Tank is 55 gallons
Haven't tested the parameters yet so not sure what they are. I need to buy a new kit
There are 2 other yoyo loaches
1 yellow lab cichlid (I'm thinking of rehoming it)
1 sailfin pleco
1 red tailed black shark
1 striped Raphael catfish
 
Loaches are funny like that. Does he snap to attention when you are feeding the tank? If so, he is probably ok. Mine lays on its side, upside down and vertical against a plant sometimes. Also if his color is ok he is probably ok.
