Cool, what will the sturgeon go into when it gets huge?

ill set him up a pond. ill deal with that hurtle when i get there, these fish are nototriously difficult to keep. ive had great success thus far in the past, just no guarantee i will this time.

i keep my tank at 76-79 degrees. paddlefish are not truly "coldwater" fishes, naturally encountering prolonged temps of high 80s and sometimes 90s. and i have kept this species of sturgeon (whites) in the past in slightly higher temps with no issues.

as far as future housing, tank size isnt an issue. if they outgrow the tank (both fish are incredibly difficult to sustain) they will be housed :) no worries on that one.

thanks for the concern tho :)
 
bad idea with the armatus/sturgeon mix. armatus should be in very warm, oxygenated water.
 
Cool. Monster mix if it works.
