I had purchased four bass last week Tuesday two kelberis about 6"two azuls about 6"there are four silver dollars in there with them

Tank 420 gallons 96L 30w 34 h
Temp 81
Ph 7.5
Ammonia 0
Nitrites 0
Nitrate 15
No substrates or decorations
Had mabe dozen Mollys in from the cycle they ate all of them. They just act very weird still all going in the corner of the tank not breathing heavy but look frightened. Have done three water changes sense I got them 165 gallons each time used ro water and heated water before putting into fish tank. They just getting used to tank ?

Mine hid for a long time when I got them so yours are probably freaked with nowhere to hide right now. Fish like structure. Something to sit near. Now my bass just about hit the glass whenever someone is nearby begging for food. I swear they even watch tv with us.

Ya your bass would certainly appreciate some cover. It'll reduce stress on them by giving them something to hide behind if they're freaked out. Whether you go with wood, rocks, or plants, anything is better than nothing.
 
Decorations...or twice as many bass ;)
And more dithers would help as well.
Do you have airstones in the tank?

No air stones returns put air in tank was thinking it was enough. The kelberis are picky eaters will not even look at the krill. Azuls eat it right up
