starve them for a week and then feed them dried blood worms to feed for a week 3 weeks ....then 1/2 dried blood worm and 1/2 small pellet....so on and so forth.
usually you just have to wait it out.. are the pbass in a area with traffic? or is there never anyone around the tank except to feed?
i started a thread like this a few weeks back. i moved my pbass from a 55g to a 125g. they went from loving people around the tank to ramming walls whenever anyone was within sight. it went on a few weeks. i added a lot of plants and driftwood and that (along with a few weeks in their new tank) has broght them back to normal. They eagerly swim to me whenever i open the door looking for food. i would just try more cover - maybe other tankmates depending on your tank size, and time. just my 2 cents...
thats how my 4 orinos acted when i first got them...they been like it for the first 2 days...and only yesterday was the last day they been skittish...mines are all coming to the front of the tank and wanting food once they see me in the front of the tank watching them! Well thats just how mines were...all i did was stay with them for so many hours a day so they get to know you more and feel more confortable seeing you...but when people see them they don't do anything but come up but not like how they come up to see me...when they see some ppl they don't know im guessing their taking their cautiousness to swim up slowly
