One of my african cichlids dug a hole into the rocks and lays in it. Does anyone know why it did that?
@
probably because it didnt want to see your face

It might be ready for spawning

it is getting redy for spwaning.

That is what Cichlids do. They are notorious diggers. He felt insecure because there were not enough hiding spots before, so he made his own. Also, he could have been getting bullied by the other fish.
Edit: By rocks, I assumed you meant, rocks, not gravel. If is is in the gravel, it might be preparing to breed.

many of them will bury themselves or rather build a pit.
some american cichlids, will do this(hornet tilipia) will do this to breed, and sit.

Many types of “Africans” will dig a nest at spawning time. I’m assuming by ‘rocks’ you mean gravel?
Also, you should be providing lots of different sized rocks as hiding spots if your “Africans” are rock dwellers.
the reason I’m putting “Africans” in quotes is because they are a group of cichlids consisting of hundreds of species that can differ immensely in every possible way you can think of. For better advice it’s a good idea to actually mention what species you have.
