I have a 450 litre tropical tank running 2 external filters filtering about 1700 litres of water an hour.
I have 10 silver dollars a Convict and a couple of smaller Cichlids and tetras, I feed them worms on occasion, frozen shrimp, Cichlid diet and bloodworm and for the first time in a long time, Discus red granules from tetra. I woke up this morning and the water was a shade cloudier than normal and all of the Silver Dollars were swimming like their stomachs were full of air and swimming nose down, they were fed the red granules for the first time the day before last, do these red granules suit the silver dollars or is it something else causing this behaviour, This hadn't happened feeding them the frozen food?
 
what are the water parameters?
sounds like your guys are bloated or have swim bladder but a picture would help
both of these are causing by overfeeding and feeding too much live food.
