Are my African Cichlids eating too much?

I just got some African Cichlids and I think that they are just pigs lol. They are all between 1.5 and 2 inches long and they seem to have grown a little in the week that I've had them. They just eat anything and everything that I put in the tank. Their little bellies got all plump and they look like they just left a buffet. Do all Cichlids act like this? They don't have bloat or anything, they're just pigs.
