I have 2 Female Festaes, 1 female Umbee & 1 male Atromaculatum, & 1 female Atromaculatum, all about 6" in a 360 gallon tank. I had originally landscaped the aquarium pretty good, but the cichlids were shy and scared the would hurt themselves when I come up to the tank or pass the tank, so I removed everything from the tank, they have gotten a little better but still not to my liken...

Any suggestions? Also do I have a chance for these cichlids to exist together or am I asking for trouble?

I was thinking about landscaping the tank again and maybe adding a large calmer cichlid in the tank.

Any suggestions/thoughts would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
 
All of these fish are fairly outgoing in my experience. Spends now time on front of the tank. And feed a small amount every time you approach the tank. Like two pellets at a time. That has always worked for me.
