sterlets

[iamevl]

can sterlets be acclimatised to live in warm water like a goldfish can? if so would they thrive or just be ill all the time? are they good with other large fish?

They can take comparatively warm waters for a sturgeon, but would not do well in very warm water

don't do it. even sterlets need cold water to survive an extended amount of time

Dont put a sterlet in warm water, they do well with alot of large fish but the little sterlet find it hard to compete for food with goldfish, koi etc

 

[synodontisjack]

best coldwater tankmates when small are: tench, roach, orfe.

It depends on what you call warm, 80 plus? Absolutely not, mid 70's yes but lower 70's would be better. If you can get one a shovelnose sturgeon is better for the mid to high 70's than a sterlet.
