hiding Blue Acara's

Hi, I got a Male and Female Blue Acara's yesterday.
My local LFS sexed a pair for me, But eveytime i go near the tank they keep hiding behind the rocks and in caves.
I floated the bag in the tank and mixed my tank water in to neutralise water etc. They are in a 55g tank with 1 small bristlenose,
Are my fish stressed or still getting used to thier surroundings ?

there most likly just still adjusting, i had my severum for a couple weeks in a temp 20 gallon while his 55 gallon was cycling and even tho he was used to me the move made him shy for a little bit again,give them some more time and it shoud be good,
