I think personally sturgeon get too big for aquariums. thats just how i feel though i've seen lots of people on here that keep sterlets.
Sterlet are one of the best aquarium species. Shovelnose would be even better, but they just aren't available.
I have 2 sterlet which are currently in a 65 for growout. They are about 6 and 8". Their only current tankmate is a 7" comet goldfish. The tank is unheated and is normally around 68-75 F depending on the season. I'm currently debating selling them of keeping them. They'll probably outgrow the 65 before I'm ready to get them something bigger. I've had some interest, but I'll probably have them a little while longer

they just get to big, i'd love to have one but i'd have to get an extremely massive tank which i may never have, my largest tank is a 125 gallon tank and that isn't even sorta big enough
I have 3 sterlets and 2 diamond sturgeons, each about 5-6", in an unheated 240 with white clouds, bloodfins and Odessa barbs. I plan to add dojos and hi-fin banded sharks as well. Temp ranges from 50-65 F. I feed frozen brine, mysis, bloodworms and very small sinking pellets. They are very primitive, mild-mannered, non-aggressive and fascinating bottom feeders. I've had them for about 3 months and while they do get large they grow slowly. I will eventually move them into my 1,000 gal and then into a farm pond (if I'm still alive by then). I bought them online from a fellow on Aquabid who offers them regularly. They shipped well, were healthy and acclimated quickly.
