my blood parrot is sideways?

Hey ok so I just got a blood parrot and a firemouth and theyve only been in the tank (40 gallon breeder) for over an hour and the blood parrot is in the cave laying sideways on the 'ceiling' of the cave, is this normal?

    You can't know anything about new fish in a few hours

    if you've properly cycled the tank and the water is healthy then you just wait and see if they acclimate

    I'd you haven't done things correctly then in a few days to a week or so, the tank will start to get poisonous

    Note:get more caves/rocks, these fish will kill each other if they don't have enough decorations/separate territories
