Has any one on here had any luck keeping sturgeons? Not interested in setting up a tank for them but would like to here from any one that has had success or lack of success in keeping them.

they get huge and need cold water and massive filtration. not reccomended
 
how do you measure success? a sturgeon is certainly not an aquarium fish nor will most ponds house one.

if you have a large pond at least 9 feet long and 5 feet wide, you could keep a serlet, but other than that they are pretty much out of the question.
 
Pretty much the response I was figuring I would see.... I wont even ask about paddlefish :) Don't take this the wrong way I don't want one just wanted to see what every one had to say.

I saw a sturgeon farm where they harvested caviar once....they keep them in chilled pools the size you would swim in.
