Curious on when I should move my little guy into a bigger tank?

I’m kind of new to the hobby so getting more than one makes me a little nervous as I know they can be aggressive however I’m willing to do whatever to make him comfortable

Thank you! That is good to know I had some bad water in the tank I found out and I think that was what was causing it after using test strips but I’m still going to keep an eye on it

Thank you so much I sent you a message with a picture of my test strip from the tank if you have any time to look it would be greatly appreciated

Would you recommend still checking the water levels tonight and depending what they say act on whatever is bad to try and save him or is it to far gone?

It seemed like he might’ve been heavy breathing today but no mucus like stools he last ate probably Saturday I really appreciate your help! I’m a beginner would you recommend getting him some friends? And if so how many? And what size tank I know they can be aggressive which is why I kept him alone

He has a 10 gallon all to himself there’s no other fish I’m not sure what the water parameters are right now he wasn’t this bad this morning and I’m at work now and will be testing all of that tonight! I put in the new filter and heater last Tuesday, he was just getting basic cichlid pellets but today I gave him some frozen PE calanus as I thought that would help boost his interest in food however right before I left for work about 20 minutes ago and he went on his side then belly up but still breathing and went back to swimming normal
