How skiddish and baby (5-6") these cichla are. Girl dogs If you will ;). I've basically tried everything they still are scared of literally everything. Can't even walk in the kitchen without them cowering in the corner. Any other suggestions?

You must be talking about those kelberi you have lol. Yea I have one too and as soon I step in the room he flips out. The fish will notice you and trust you after a while of feeding them

They will adjust as they get bigger but the best way to teach to not be skittish is to leave some sort of lighting on 24/7 for a couple of weeks,
