Since re-arranging my stocking I now have 4 Festivums in a 70G on their own.

They have been in their for a couple of weeks and are seriously stressed out, all 4 continually hiding below the internal filter.

The will take food.

The 300 currently is bare bottomed and has no aquascape at all.

Some questions.

Will they settle down when I put a substrate, plants and decor in?

Is there anything I can do just now to settle them down? I'm worried I may lose them.
 
I've never kept multiple festis, but will say that they will probably settle once they have cover. Mine hangs out amongst plants and behind DW when resting.
