Sturgeon

[noreaster]

Hello.

I recently bouth a 100 gal tank to set up and it had two goldfish in it I added two salmon and a strugeon to keep the tank going until i find the fish that i really want.

has anybody had any experience keeping these fish ?

They are actually pretty cool looking although the sturgeon is not all that active, the salmon definitly make up for it.

o0k...sturgeons i've heard of......bt keeping SALMON???!!!

Yeah dude, you can't keep a pair of salmon in a 100, and with a sturgeon probably not in a 1000.

well you could keep it in a thousand gallons im sure.. the foot prints you just have to be real wide and long and not high

maybe you should get a small chiller, sturgeon and salmon will live longer and thrive better in cooler waters than you can provide

Yes I know they are still quite small i'll get rid of them when they get too big.

I realize how big both get

well....i still think 100 gals is a little tight for 2 salmon and a sturgeon......what salmon are they anyway?

The tank is in my basement and the temperature never gets above 18 c.

they will do fine at that temp i believe.

How do I post pictures on this site ?

Atlantic Salmon


Yes I agree.

We have an abundance of salmon here and the goldfish were quite boring so i drove up the road to a hatchery and gor five originally but three jumped out .

There is a sturgeon hatchery near here also so i went out and got one of those.

we picked through the fish to find a small one and they grow quite slow.
although the salmon are quick growers but i realized that before as i have raised a few salmon in my lifetime.

Somewhere in the vicinity of 4 million i would say without any exageration.
