Sterlet is just a general term to refer to juvenile/young sturgeon, it's not actually the name of any species.
Sturgeon can live in tropical temperatures.

he looks extremly skinny. Clear sign for overpowered metabolism. in one or two months it is dead.
A farm in thailand do breed sterlets and diamond sturgeon even crossed breed both specimen. Also plenty of sterlets being sold in the Philippines from 6" to 12-18". Living well in warm water. My cousin in the Philippines got 7 sterlets living in his outdoor ponds with kois for 5 years now. Temp is around 78-82F in the morning sometimes will go as high as 87-89F in the noon time. Night time will drop to 75F and at dawn at 72-74F.
Sorry, but wrong.
Sterlet = Acipenser ruthenus
You know, Google is fun when searching for things as common as sterlets.
Not again Darius... why?
As for King-EL's post: Surely it is possible with good oxygen supply, but long term it is unhealthy for the fish and results in early death.
U sure are the one to talk when ur the one who abuses animals at your work. Lol! What's so abusive about it when they are living well, eating well in a large 50x30 feet pond. Not to mention breeding. So he must be doing something right. As they eat naturally and breeds naturally with no hormones. He manage to keep them for 5 years in that pond. Also before he got them they were living in 300g tank for so many years too not sure how long but they were already big when he got them.
it is not possible in long terms. Those fish are short lived and stunted. sturgeons are coldwater fish with a slow metabolism. As said before, not a single sturgeon species managed to thrieve in tropic waters, all live in cold climate and that has a reason. We should give our pets the environement they need and do no experiments with their life. thats my opinion and i stand for that and i don't care if some southeast asian 3 rd world countries with terrible animal abuse cases also torture sturgeons. Please give your sturgeon the environement he needs and what he is adapted for.Not again Darius... why?

I agree with everything you state here, but Darius could really stop being so provocative. Everytime he does that, some idiot insults him, a 10 page argument develops and a mod closes.
Every time.
Every, every time.
