Wild caught/captive bred silver characteristics?

[rumblesushi]

Does anyone know if there are any distinguishable traits between wild caught and captive bred silvers?

 

[DeLgAdO]

not really

No idea if it applies to the silvers....

But aussie aros seem to be a lot more skittish if they are wild caught..

 

[rumblesushi]

Yeah you have a point there, I had a wild caught jar, beautiful, but DAMN skittish. Very nervous and jumpy. But mean of course

Oh and Del - apart from potentially a lack of drop-eye

I'm pretty sure Del will argue that until the day he dies, orrrrrrrrr until there's concrete evidence, which I doubt will happen anytime soon

Why are they more skittish if they are wild-caught??

 

[rallysman]

I would imagine that they are just more used to people if they are farm raised.

i see wild caught silvers all the time and its really hard to tell.. Well the bigger ones do have some sort of damage or imperfection if they are wild caught, but so do farm bred ones.
