Its not that Im worried but this has to be the funniest thing ever. During dinner time for the cichlids I have this agressive male which comes to the front/ or sides of the tanks and it looks like he is kissing or biting at it. He makes a funny face too when he does it. I hav had him for about a month now so maybe he is getting used to seeing my face? I dunno im so clueless lol...

My male blue zebra used to do this when he was just a 1/2 inch long. You can imagine how ridiculous it looked. 
I thought he was trying to assert his "dominance" over me. Ha ha. But now, I think he was either doing that, or scraping algae off the glass to eat. Later on when he was much larger, I noticed little teeth scraping marks on the decorations and one day, I finally saw him do it.

In my tank, I have seen exactly the same pretty often.
Although, it's not during, but just after I fed them.
It looks to me it is some kind of aggression; they look really angry while they're doing that. It lasts for 2 minutes or so, then it’s over.
Beats me why they are doing that.
