Sick Fish?

[Kay-Kwatics]

I just bought a Acei Cichlid today a PetSmart, he looks sick. Can anybody identify a illness from the photos? I can try to get more pics but he stays in one place so it's hard to get other angles.

I recommend you quarrantine any new fish in a 10 gallon tank with heater, sponge filter, and airstone for at least 3 weeks.

Daily 50% water changes may perk him up.
