My fish is stressed. Is covering the tank good for its recovery?

Question

If my fish is recovering from stress, is covering the tank a good thing to do? Pet's info: Fish | Cichlid | Female | unspayed | 4 years and 8 months old

If Dempsey's tank is in a highly lite area, exposed to drafts/sudden temperature changes or a high traffic/loud environment, covering the tank (only around the side, not the top in case it could be a fire hazards) may help to buffer some of that stimulation. Otherwise try to keep things quiet, avoid bright lights and sudden temperature fluctuations. Also avoid running or other floor vibrations. I hope this helps and that Dempsey continues her recovery.
