Very nice. I have been looking for some of the sturgeon species that stay a little smaller and can't find anyone in the states that sells them. Any tips?

they are pretty hard to find
i got this one from a guy in florida probably 2 years ago. hes the only person ive seen with diamonds in the last 5 years. i believe they are restricted on import
and all sturgeon seem to be seasonal so they may not be available until next spring.
ive found white's from time to time over the past few years, but they like even colder temps and grow quicker and larger
tips-
keep it cold, these idiots keeping them in tropical temps are killing or torturing their fish, reguardless of what everyone else on here keeps saying
dont overfeed them! yes they will get big, but they shouldnt get super big super fast. water quality is much more important. less food = less water issues
aerate aerate aerate! i always run a big pump to an air stone, as well as filters aggitating the surface like crazy
dont keep anything in the tank for them to get caught on like decor or filter intakes. they cannot swim backwords, so they can wedge themselves into spaces, get stuck and die
dont worry about the "they need a circular tank" --- ive had this guy in a 40g to start him eating well, in a 100g stock tank, and a 180g. the round stock tank to the 180 didnt make a difference. he doesnt run into the glass much, and swims slowly, so an occasional bump is no big deal. he knows where the glass is and where the corners are as u can see in the videos.
