no, they should always behave like they are starving you must be sure not to over feed them, this willl cause bloat, feed as much as they can eat in a minute since they are voracious eaters this is all they need, if they dont come and begfor food all the time then there is something wrong

Yeah, cichlids are pretty greedy fish. They are also attention lovers. They'll nearly do somersaults in the tank if they think you're going to pop in some brine shrimp or tube worms...Just let them be...They'll live.
