Thanks again for telling me about yours, mine hiding has been a fear for me before I considered what factors I had in my favor. I'm hoping the high flow+oxygen and cool temperature in my tank will bring them out like it did the kuhlis.
Personally I suspect the reason they are reported to hide as much as they do is too high temperatures and likely not enough flow or oxygen, which ought to all make them feel like staying in their hides (it's like what you or I would do on a very hot day, sit in the shade instead of jog). A lot of keepers forget that they come from waters in the 20-21 Celsius range, as opposed to the 25-28+ Celsius temperatures they keep their tanks at.
473 liter - pictus catfish, smallscale archerfish, planned pumpkinseed sunfish
110 liter - green neon+cardinal tetras
473 liter - roseline sharks, striped kuhli+black kuhli+Burmese loaches, zebra/weather/neon kuhli loaches (planned)
