If you can't photo them yourself google sturgeon and look for a site that has a description of the worlds sturgeon and you should be able to find your sturgeon, without a photo of the top and side of the sturgeon it is hard to id.

Probably sterlet, but impossible to tell without a picture if its dark, if its more of a tan color could be a white.

you do know you probably do not have the ability to house them for life right? These things get HUGE!

 

[Moontanman]

Sterlets don't get huge anzfab213, they max out around a meter under ideal conditions maybe a bit more. We all need to understand there lots of different species of sturgeon, not all are huge, the most suitable for aquariums are sterlets and shovelnose. There are sturgeon that max out at 12" but they are endangered.
