Anyone heard of this or have tank requirment for this fish?

Here is the website i found that sells these (while i was looking for the Grand Caymen Limia's that are not sold around my area)

Funnily enough, a piece I've written about sturgeons just went online at Tropical Fish Finder, here:

http/www.tropicalfishfinder.co.uk/news_article.asp?id=1861

While details vary between species, even the smallest Acipenser is around a metre in length, and none are really sensible additions to aquaria. Even maintaining them in ponds is extremely demanding. Sure, stores can keep them alive a few weeks much like koi carp, but actually keeping them healthy for a normal lifespan a major challenge. I'd consider the write-up at Arizona Aquatic Gardens to be disingenous at least, and perhaps outright misleading.

In a word, "avoid".

Cheers, Neale

Thanks Again
