STURGEON I.D.

[BMUSCARI]

]I HAD 2 BABY STURGEON A WHILE BACK I GOT SENT TO ME FROM ARIZONA AQUATIC GARDENS.. WHEN I RECEIVED THEM, THEY WAS EXTREMELY SICK AND ENDED UP DYING.. I HAD TO FIND ANOTHER BECAUSE THESE FISH ARE SO DIFFERENT, SO I NOW HAVE ANOTHER STURGEON AND I AM WONDERING IF ANYONE KNOWS WHAT IT IS EXACTLY.. SOMETIMES I THINK IT LOOKS LIKE A STERLET, AND OTHER TIMES ITS LOOKS MORE LIKE A WHITE STURGEON.. DOES ANY BODY HAVE ANY OPINIONS?

ANYONE?

Siberian maybe? I'm not sure though, that's only a guess

Siberian's probably a good guess.

That sort of color isn't on a sterlet.

but this on is a sterlet.. and its the same color as mine.

There's a slight difference in color hue. And the sterlet's snout is more pointed.

Plus, yours lacks the white body/fin bordering that the sterlet has.
