when the tank lights go out shine a light on the fish and see if it looks as though they are covered in gold dust. that would be velvet. fish can flick from that as well as Ich or other parasites, but us less obvious as it is hard to notice in regular bright tank light.
best of luck

What cichlids do you have?

Mbuna regularly flick or rub against the substrate or rocks as a part of their aggression or breeding displays. Unless they are doing it constantly, there's nothing to worry about.
