sturgeon

[AndreR]

yes but goldfishes ideal temp is around 66

Is it?

What makes you sure about it?

It depends on the point of view....

I am not sure about it generally yet, concerning the immune status a higher temperature is important for example Cushing (1942) researched on antibody production in Carp and Goldfish and claimed that a higher temperature supports (Abstract: http://www.jimmunol.org/cgi/content/abstract/45/2/123) on the other hand refering to gill morphologie Nilsson gives interesting hints that could indicate that Goldfish (which showed the same Results as Crucian Carps in prior studies) should be kept at lower temperature levels according to their optimum range (Abstract: http://jeb.biologists.org/cgi/content/abstract/210/14/2403)...

...I am not sure yet, what to think about it....

...in my own experience keeping colder extends lifetime, but keeping warmer support growth and strength...

what part of cali are u in, i might be abel to help.

Bay Area, near san fransisco. I go fishing at a place called coyote point. I've tried chicken, but some locals told me anchovies are better. Thanks if you could help.

try shrimp. Ghost, grass, glass, and green shrimp. i know it sounds pretty small for such a big fish, but...THEY WORK!

also salmon row. trout row. and shad work really well. match the hatch. chicken sounds like a luck bait, not something they really want.

Goldfish are doing great at 80 °F, but Sturgeon won´t anyway...

...and then there is the matter of size...

But I can understand the point, great fishes...but...

Hard to see, the Dark Side is.

haha i thougth that was a origami of a tortoise...because my screen only showed its head then i scrolled down, lol.

sturgeons arent meant to be kept in aquarium unless you got somthing huge. Arnt they endagered species anyway?

i llove them

sturgeon are far from endangered, my buddy just went on a charter boat in the columbia river for em and caught a 4 footer. i would love to keep one but they really need a huge outdoor pond.

Okay, thanks man. I don't know if i can get those shrimps, but I can get salmon row, probably a shad too. Thanks, I'll try it out when I can go fish again.

Sturgeon are in worldwide decline. It's highly unlikely these awesome fish will have any real future. There are areas that still hold many Sturgeon but they are becoming fewer.

I was shocked when I read the harvest totals from 100 years ago. Not far from me, they were harvesting almost 500,000 pounds of Sturgeon a year. I have yet to see a single one in the river.

i was reffering to the common comets. sorry

20 degree's C is ok for comets but it isn't their ideal temp, they do better in coldwater temps (i.e. 18 degree's or colder), its why they make such good pond fish as they are some of the few commonly sold coldwater fish that can really thrive in temps close to freezing. However comets are such hardy fish, 20 degree's would should be no problem at all either way, just not really "ideal" if we want to be specific/technical about such stuff.

Fancy goldfish tend to be more substropical and do better than comets in temps around 20 degree's C, fancy goldfish have a long history of been bred indoors as true aquarium fish (unlike comet and common goldfish which have only really been kept in aquariums in the last 200years or so, in ancient times in China they were primarily bred for the bulk of their history as pond fish) and so have adjusted to room temps a lot better over time. They are very suited to sub-tropical temps (19-23 degree's C) and cannot handle freezing temps like comets and common goldfish can.
