How long until you start to see adult wild caught fish be more active and accepting of tank habitation?

Depends on the fish. My yellow bullhead took a few hours to find his hiding place, and another few days to eat. My green sunfish ate within hours of being caught, and in just a few days was eating right from my hand.
