It doesn't mean your fish aren't getting enough food. Cichlids are just pigs and love to eat

Fish will consume a dead or dying fish partly to keep the bacteria level safe in their tank. Some fish naturally are drawn to a live/fresh protein source. It has no reference to how much you feed them.

What were all your parameters? Nitrite/nitrate? Tankmates?

Why is your ammonia level high?

Is this a new tank?

Do you know about the nitrogen cycle?

What is your maintenance schedule?

As requested, what are your readings for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate?
