I'd keep a close eye on them for the next couple of days, just to be safe. In the meantime, I'd do 10-15% water changes to see if that helps. If things don't improve, I think it's worth trying a general cure for illness - you can find something like that at the LFS, Petsmart, or online at Dr Foster ...

I just set up a new canister filter for my 125 gallon tank, it's rated for 175 gallons. My cichlids are acting really weird now.
