In any case say goodbye to your rams!

The fish MIGHT be a sterlet... I have a feeling though based on just doing some quick proportion measurements and merit counts that it is more likely a hybrid..

Not sure you have to worry about your "rams"

this thread is old hehe! but anyway

3 days ago i just found him dead. no idea why.

everything was perfect water is crystal clear. right parameters. aeration was also not a problem. i got air pump and water pump in there. its sucks! i dont know what i did wrong im hesitant to try it one more time cause im afraid to do the same mistake(that i still havent identified)

what was the temp of your tank? being a cold water fish it may have been stressed to death? only thing i can come up with

wiki said they will rarely exceed 3'

i thinks dwarf sturgeon is different(base on wiki hehe!)

they are skitish, i havent seen mine stop swimming and they to this upside down swimming so cool. and i read that when they grow they stick their nose out of the pond and lets you touch them.

3' is dwarf for a sturgeon, considering they can grow well over 12'

Different species of strugeon grow to different lengths, Beluga sturgeon get to be 18' or more but Pseudoscaphirhynchus hermanni max out at about 12"

Those are what should be bred for the aquarium trade, not white sturgeon. Although, considering how endangered they are, I'm guessing they must not be that hardy and easy to breed....

Actually they are so rare and live in a politically unstable area no one is trying to breed them. Their habitat is practically gone as well. Actually I've heard some rumors of some being bred but no real facts so far. With a bit of luck I'll be in the loop for info if and when they are bred but I'm not holding my breath. If you think that one was cool take a gander at this one!
Pseudoscaphirhynchus kaufmanni, sorry the last link was bad try this one
