Although i know its your friends Bday gift, it might be an idea to try and return the sturgeon for something else more suitable, unless your friend is willing to setup a new coldwater tank just for this future monster...

Tank size and feeding aside. With a blood parrot in the tank I assume the water is 77+ temp. I'd get him into some colder water. it will be prone to disease in warmer water.

You'd better hope so for size reasons!
I actually work at a sturgeon farm. We raise Siberian sturgeon, Russian sturgeon, and besters. They eat pretty much anything. We feed ours sinking pellets but they can be trained to take floating pellets too. Our Siberians grow a little more than a foot per year. We don't let the water go above 75 degrees at any point, and below 65 or so is optimal. We start the babies off at 50 degrees, and adults are even happier in the 40's. Unfortunately, in Florida that means a lot of money is spent running chillers.
Have your sturgeon farm ever considered Gulf Sturgeon which is a native to Florida as a product at the hatchery in future?
Yes, but they're nearly impossible to legally obtain unless you're fish and wildlife.
That and caviar culture originated in Eurasia, so their species are typically more sought-after for their caviar.

you should remove those pebbles and replace with sand as they can hurt the underbelly of the sturgeon.
I made sure I tell people close to me that not to get me any live fishes as a gift. Because as a hobbyist I'm very particular on anyone adding anything in my tank. I don't want the obligation to have to keep it, possible contamination, incompatible fish, or whatever that may come up. Just stick with the gift cards.
Thats a siberian sturegon (acipsenser baerii)
The sterlett is much thinner when that small.
I have one siberian sturegon thats 83cm (almost 3 feet) it feeds on salmonj sinking pellets, shrimp and floating pellets (sometimes).
