my cichlids are all acting weird.

most of them have just been hiding under a rock for the last 48 hours and only come out to eat.

one of my other peacocks is just sitting in the upper left corner barely moving unless i go near the glass. They all seem lethargic.

I tested the water and ammonia was 0, nitrite 0 and nitrate was 10ppm.

So not sure what coudl be wrong with them?
 
are they new to the tank? mine somtimes due this through the afternoon hours. also the peacock could be getting bullied.

they've been in the tank about 2 weeks

Also, the peacock is the biggest in the tank and i dont see him getting bullied. Even my jewel is the most active and he's been just loafting around doing nothing to. so weird
 
hmm, well give it some time, they might just be a bit scared and need to get used to the new tank. all though they should be used to it after two weeks. but yeah, give it time and if it keeps up then ask here. any signs of sickness?
