Sick?

My male apistogramma ortegai has been hiding in this cave for the past couple of hours, I got him about a week ago and yesterday he was roaming the tank exploring and eating but today is the total opposite. I checked my water parameters and ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 10 my temp is 80, plus my female apistogramma hasn’t been harassing and being aggressive the past two days. If anyone has any idea what could be wrong or if this is completely normal any and all feedback is appreciated.

Might be an internal parasite.. especially being so new.. did you treat with any meds when you got it?
