I recently added aquatic plants and now my JDs are all boxed up in a corner hiding behind plants. They used to be highly active and more in your face but now they turned shy what should i do? They have lessened their food in take which is alarming me.
 
So should I take the plants out?

I'm sure they will adjust. It's just like ehh said they spook so easy, but they do need a place to hide a comfort zone if you will.... they should be fine once they see the difference isn't a threat... turn the light off for a while and let them get comfortable
 
the less often you keep your hands and net out of the water, the happier and more visible the jack dempseys will be.
