Whthout more info it's hard to give a really good answer but....
They main thing all cichlids need is space and hiding places. Be sure you have enough room for them all and if not you will need to thin them out a bit and move or sell a few. f you have plenty of room based on the adult sizes of the fish, then you need more hiding places, lots of plastic plants, rock caves, flower pots, all of that can be used to make hiding places for them. Different kinds of cichlids like different kinds of hiding places so do your research to see what your would want.

Yes more information would be needed to answers this question
1 how big is the tank
2 how many fish are in the tank
3 what are you feeding them
4 how often are you feeding them
5 what kind do you have
Most often people have to many of them in the tank together or they do not have enough hiding places. Again we would need more information

they are aggessive fish... feed them more and make sure you have a big enough tank so each of them can have their own territory

switch up the decorations and get some more if you have to, some that make good hiding places...
