I have a newly setup 50 gallon tank with about 8 Lake Malawi African
Cichlids. The fish were fine the first week or so, but now they have
become frightened and hide behind rocks all day long. They gradually
come out if no humans are close by, but they quickly go into hiding at
the first sight of anyone. They weren't like this at all initially.
What can cause this sudden change in behavior?

i have the exact same thing with my cichlids
