Sorry for your loss.

Was their a heat spike around this time?

its been hot but it stays pretty cool in my basement I was checking the water temp in its tub regularly and it was staying at around 74 although I did notice it acting kind of sluggish Friday night but it perked right up when I dropped some pellets in there so I just dont know

Sorry to hear about the death of the sturgeon, 74 degrees should have been ok as long as aeration was going good, but some of the West Coast species of Sturgeon really need cooler water than this, do you know the species?
