Can a fish be saved from this condition and is there a name for it?? Is this just stress? I have a 220 gallon aquarium that has been up and running for months. I have other cichlids, however it did not seem to be extensively bothered by the previous fish in the tank. I do not have access to another tank to try to cure him and I dont think buying medicine to treat that much water is practical but I did wonder if this fish might be saved??

To be honest he probably can't be saved - when they can't control their swim functions anymore it's usually too late.

No when a fish is floating upside down there is no hope for it. Peacock Chiclids are really pretty though. sorry about your fish, it will probably be dead within the next few days.
