Many reasons....

How big are your cichlids compared to your Jaguars, how big are they, who was the previous resident in the tank.. the cichlids or Jaguars, water perimeters, water temp, any signs of stress or disease??? Other than that, try to take out hiding places so they can get accustom to traffic and your presence.

jaguars are cichlids

jaguars are cichlids

Jaguars, Oscars, 5 Star Generals.. whos the e*tard making up these weird names???

they most likely just need to settle into their new home, is there anything in the tank with them?
I would leave the lights off.
I would also check the water, just to be safe.
but other than that, I would just leave them to settle in.

you need to share more information to get an accurate response. The things like temp. ammonia readings , do you have salt in the tank tankmates etc. are all important when formulating a conclusion an plan to correct.
