They DO look great in Wyoming! In the creek, on the grill, on a plate. All good.
it feels good, doesn't it

Wouldn't it be a gas to have a humongous tank with a chiller and keep native fish ? The Cabela's Store here in Billings MT just got a Pallid Sturgeon for their tank. They showed it on the news in their big tank with some huge Lake Trout. Seems like a bad mix to me. Warm water river fish with trout ? They'll kill it.

Not to mention they are beautiful swimmers.

It would be extremely cool. I have looked at it for the 150g I keep at the dentist's office, but chillers are cost-prohibitive.
Since pallid sturgeons are endangered, I'd guess they probably had to go through all sorts of approvals from the Montana and USFWS, so they probably know what they're doing. (???) But it does seem like an odd choice. I'd think browns or sauger, or even flathead chubs, would be a better match.

Eleven months since I signed up here.
I’ve now got five tanks, only two in use. One to be kept for emergency/QT. Two are going onto eBay or similar soon.
Theyll eventually be replaced by a betta trio tank for breeding, hatching and grow out if that’d work? I’ll be running that by you lot in a couple of months.

Hehe, I wish.
I may save you to get quite a large tank, so I can’t house a Lion Fish. (Which is my dream fish)
Lionfish are boring, they sit in a corner somewhere and cruise around after lights out. The only time they do anything else is when they stab you because you didn't see them behind a rock you went to move.
I think the smallest tank I ever owned was a 50g always wanted just one big tank and when 50g wasn’t big enough I bought a 75g now a 125g and seriously looking into a 250g custom make , honestly if I had the space I’d of kept them all

A non-reef saltwater tank isn't that expensive to set up. No need for protein skimmer, sump, dosing equipment, high end lights etc.
When I worked in a fish store during my college days, the 55 gallon Lion tank was our showcase tank. On a positive note, there is a huge supply of Lionfish in the Caribbean, should be easy to import these guys if you don't live in Florida.
They are a beautiful fish and I believe, very hardy.

That's a drawback of getting older too. I have to limit myself on tank sizes because I physically cannot move anything more than a 20 gallon by myself.
I don’t plan on doing any coral to start out with, just some live rocks.
Sounds like a plan to me! I have shut down a couple of the nano tanks. I went from 15 down to 13. Slow, steady progress.
