Well they take back the sturgeon at the end of the school year. They got them from some sort of fishery, I have no idea, I don't have direct contact with them, although I tried to get it to see if I couldn't keep the fish until it out grew my tank.
The fish was on the DNR supplies pellets, I assume he was fed them before I got him. He was not bloated at all, which was one thing that was not pointing toward an intestinal blockage. I figured maybe in the weakened state he died before it had time to get noticeable, and especially with the lowered body weight from the fast any bulge would be harder to detect.
I don't know the tank temp, the didn't give us a heater, and would not tell us at what temperature to keep him when I asked about me putting a heater on it. It is almost as if the program is run by a demented *******.
