A texas green plant is struggling.

I've been noticing my large Texas green cichlid acting really off lately - it's been hiding out in the back plants and caves instead of playing with my dog or having those epic staring contests with me. A couple of days ago, I saw these weird fever blister-like spots on its lips and I'm seriously worried, I mean I'm really scared its mouth might fall off or something. My tank's parameters are all good, though, and my other fish seem fine - my 2 corydoras, 5 little peacocks, 2 yellow labs, 2 acei youngsters, 3 adult peacocks (one of which was born with one eye but it's a beautiful creamsicle color and the other fish don't seem to care), my med-large green terror cichlid, and of course my Texas green. Plus, my 3 crawdads, freshwater eel, and moss ball all seem to be doing well.

I'm also pretty sure my corydoras are a bronze female and a male leopard, they were getting frantic so I stuck 'em in a plastic frame netted breeder cage, but honestly I've been trying to figure out for sure if they're male and female, and nothing I've read has been clear enough to make me 100% on it.
