is there is a relation between the type of food you give to your fish and their behaviour ... in another word ... will the food with high protein will make my asian & american cichlid more aggressive ?

Live food will likely make certain fish more blood thirsty, but a healthy staple (pellets, fresh fish fillets etc) will ensure proper nutrition and growth. Unless ur under feeding food should not effect ur fish!! Its most likely a territorial issue, try lowering temp to 76° and make sure there are adequate hiding spots and room. Also, stress is a huge factor in aggression and the biggest cause of stress can be dirty water w/ high nitrates or ammonia.

When i feed my piranhas shrimp theh tend to be aggressive while they eat it but its over in 5 minutes.

Stock and tank setup?
