Sturgeon

[tjp]

I had 2 sturgeons they were 42cm and 45cm

we dug a bigger pond just for them but we had to move them to a diffrent pond ... one of them died on transport and the other one died 2 days after we moved them it was probualy stress that killed them

so now im lest with a big pond and a few koi and goldfish lol

ill have to get some more sturgeon

sturgens are saltwater fish! you probably had something called -------- um cant remember the name but it war star something! and yeah they look clones of sturgens. where i come from, if a sturgen is caught, it has to be offered to the queen! BY LAW!

there is such thing as a lake sturgen but the true strurgen here in the uk is a saltwater fish and as mentioned above is soo rare that if caught it has to be offered to the queen of england! on that site HERE. it shows a STURLET. as i mentioned above well the star something was pretty close anyways. this is probably what you had. a sturlet.

How many gallons is the pond/what is its dimensions? Even with ponds, most sturgeon can easily outgrow them.

Sturgeon are a very old fish, and the can be in either fresh or salt water.

depending on the species...

Sturgeons and sterlets are great additions to any pond thats big enough and well filtered to cope with there high quality needs.

I currently have a 2ft albino sterlet and as from wednesday will have a 2ft stellate sturgeon. My pond is very well filtered and is touch under 2000 gallons.

I feed my current sturgeon on the pellets that, that sites shop sells. I wouldn't settle for anything less after reading there research.
