Can anyone ID this fish?

Saw this in South Korea just wondering if anyone knows what it is called

Sturgeon with upside down synos.

Definitely a sturgeon, but come on now, thats not good enough for MFK, people.

I can say with some confidence this is a russian sturgeon. Other candidates are starry sturgeon or sterlet sturgeon, but the scute arrangement does not appear sterlet to me. The kicker: even though we cant see the snout (best way to differentiate sturgeon), i can see its shadow which appears blunt and short, definitely not long and thin like a starry.

Could be some lesser known primarily freshwater species, maybe sakhalin, im certainly no expert, but i would put my money on a subadult russian sturgeon aka ossetra.

I think the op was referring to the synodontis cats - looks like multipunctatus or petricola to me.

 

[Backfromthedead]

Oh. Petricola most likely but could be a hybrid.

I'm curious of the water temperature in that tank,never seen sturgeon kept with African cichlids before.

 

[RyanScanner]

So a juvenile sturgeon kept in 26C water? It was very active.

Here’s my full pictures I cropped it a bit before, should have taken a better picture of the whole tank.
