Questions about wild caught fish

[bl00]

I apologize to all for all of the odd and esoteric questions that I've been posting...but I have more

I picked up a wild caught Peruvian Severum today, how sensitive are they in terms of water chemisty? (e.g., would a mini cycle cause severe distress?)

Also, in terms of tank mates, will tank bred severum generally be just as compatible, or should I steer towards more wild caught specimen?

Do the same for wild caught as you would for captive bred. Besides slight differences in appearance, they are exactly the same.

also they will be fine in with captive bred fish.

Thanks guys. I'll get some pics the next time he decides to come out. He's still being pretty shy.

I like to feed wild caught fish anti-internal parasite food while in quarantine before introducing them to the display/main tank
