Hope this won't discourage you from future posts. This occurs in other parts of this forum too. A member would inquire on compatibility, feeding, or something about a certain fish (Goliath tigerfish,arapaima,giant carp etc) and the almost immediate response is unless you have >1,000+ gallon tank, don't get it or something to that effect.

lol first he will never get beluga because they are endangered and protected and they come from russia second snakeheads where released by a person for religious reason as they use the fish in different ceremonies like wedding,funerals etc and as for my name lol we are in american right so its freedom of speech right i didn't disrespect anyone or curse so what's the problem just stating the facts alot of you guys talk like you know and you don't
Snakeheads have been released by aquarists all over North America, not just that famous Crofton Pond that everyone knows about. You gave a wrong advice that is highly frowned upon in our hobby. Look at goldfish, koi carps and common pleco that caused lot of problems in the ecosystems that they are not native to. We have some issues with the deadly VHS disease that is killing the natives. This specific VHS came from an aquarium fish that got released by someone that got bored of fish.
Pretty sure sturgeons need running water over the eggs to hatch. And eggs washing out wont be an issue cause water isn't moving. And the beluga I only asked about cause I saw a lot of them in koi ponds in Europe on YouTube. Might just have to build a big koi pond with no outlets for now to raise them. Until I can build my indoor olymic swimming pool lol. But the diamonds stay smaller than the whites. Does anyone know the growth rates on them. I know in the past when I had sterlets, they doubled in size and I noticed no growth from a white in the same period. ( lost them all in a move) 
Again, your best shot is just stick to the native fishes that is native to your area. But that's great idea on building an artificial pond with no outlet and 100% isolated and you can stock any fish whatever you wants.Pretty sure sturgeons need running water over the eggs to hatch.

As for the eggs, well I can see the sturgeons trying to swim upstream even if its too shallow for them. Don't forget the pathogens the sturgeon comes with, might be harmful to the natives that do not have any immunity to.
The OP asked where he could find the sturgeons he was looking for. The question was answered: https://www.azgardens.com/pond/koi-...hite-sturgeon-and-black-diamond-sturgeon.html
Good luck with your project.
