What sized tank? How long has it been set up? Is it cycled (what are readings for ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate)?

What cichlid is hurt and what are the tankmates (fish species, size and number)?

If one is being bullied by the others, sometimes the only option is to move the injured to a hospital tank. It can be difficult to reintroduce an injured fish, especially if the reason for the injuries is not changed (others spawning, fighing for territory, etc.).
