They may hide and they may also try to jump out of the tank. If your fish do not settle down within a 24 hour period then there is something wrong with their environment. You will need to research the requirements of the species you wish to keep and correct whatever you are doing wrong before the fish will settle down. The base rules for keeping any fish are :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water. :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% pf its water changed every week. If you keep to the above rules have the water temperature correct, and feed the fish good food, they will stand a chance of living a normal lifespan. If you fail in any of them I can guarantee that your fish will be constantly getting sick and will have very short lifespans.
