Rosy Barbs Still Scared of Me

This is really starting to drive me nuts. I used to have a fish tank that was very pleasant to look at until I added the Rosy Barbs. Even with ich cured and everything testing perfect and dense plantcover in the tank, whenever I enter the room, all 7 of my Rosy Barbs immediately go and find cover. This drives all the other fish down to the bottom of the tank and behind the plants also. This has been occuring for 7 days since the ich treatment was cured even after adding all the plants back. How long do you think I have to wait for my fish to act "normal" again?
 
Nobody has any idea on what to do. The only time they actually come out when I am near the tank is when feeding time comes around. This strange behaviour started after I removed the plants to salt with ich. Do you think putting my hand in the tank and tearing everything apart had to do with this? Any remedy to solve this problem. Anybody else have this experience?
