Haha I have the same problem lol. I always want to see my cichlids in their natural behavior and interactions with each other. But if I move the slightest bit, they all come running towards the top for food. That's why I stay super motionless whenever I watch my cichlids.
They're actually charging because they don't like me hanging around at that end of the tank! They're good if I go to the opposite side. Go figure! Brick is nosey. If I work above the tank he comes up top right under my arm. Sometimes I walk him back and forth across the tank. When he wants food he comes to the top and smacks his lips at me! The others will pop out of their hidey holes and watch me patiently while I fix their food.
I haven't figured out why my Oscar doesn't like me hanging around one end of the tank but not the other. He'll even ram the glass. So I pretend to duck and move away from the end and then he's ok. I can be in front of the tank working with no problem. If I'm just watching eventually Brick gets annoyed and I get the big cabbage head treatment with shaking and tail slapping. So I leave the room. That's gratitude for ya.
