whats the water temp ?
how much surface aggitation do you have? that will help with any aeration issues that may arrise.

do you have any pictures?
you will need a larger tank, but you have a little while

I feed my 2 6" Stretlets blood worm and in an air-conditioned room and it is in a 100 gallon tank. Is this ok?

It depends of course on what the tanks temps are but I would say probably yes. You do need some heavy aeration and good water quality but assuming you have that under control I see no reason you shouldn't have good luck with your fish. I know many people here think that if the fish don't grow at maximum speed to the worlds record size for the fish something is wrong but give your self a break, don't feed your fish like you are fattening them for market, feed them nutritious food in reasonable amounts, keep the water clean and well aerated, use a good bio filter (I like trickle filters) and you should enjoy many years of healthy fish.

I used to get my sturgeons form cartimar now I buy mine from a fish seller on the internet.

 

[How Koi]

I live in Ontario Canada, I have a source for some sterlet and have always loved the idea of them living with my Koi. In Germany and other parts of Europe they are very popular as pond fish and I have seen them in numerous pet shops and sold b along side of Koi by many Koi dealers. What temp range are we talking about for them to be comfortable? Would they winter over with Koi in an appropriately maintained pond?

i have had my 3 white sturgeon for over 14 months now. they do well on live and frozen black worms. blood worms are crap. sinking pellets are cool as well. tetra sterlet pellets are the best but only available in europe. i had a can and they worked quite well. since i got them they grew from 6'' to about 14''. this summer they will grow alot.

as long as it doesn't freeze solid, you are fine. I would be more worried about it getting too warm in the summer, but i think you should be ok, since it is only seasonal.
