The Sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus) is the sturgeon best suited for keeping in garden ponds as it's slower growing and has a smaller maximum size than other species available. The Sterlet is a freshwater species that only rarely is found in brackish water; as such they are less tolerant of salt than the other species but can easily take doses suitable for koi. More sedentary than some of the other species the Sterlet tends to spend day times down in the deepest parts of the pond becoming more active as dusk approaches. It is often seen looking for food around the edges of shelves and drop-offs. Care must be taken when bowling or transporting this fish as it tends to produce a lot of mucus from the body when caught not only making it very slippery to handle but it also thickens the water during transportation. The name Sterlet refers to the small bony stars (Scutes) found in the skin.

Sometimes in shops you will see other sturgeon given the Sterlet title, normally Diamond Sterlet or Siberian Sterlet. Do not believe them, it is a ruse by the shops to make you think that the Diamond or Siberian sturgeon will stay small and they will not. It is a true sturgeon not a dwarf species. They can grow to around 1 meter after 10-12 years and attain a maximum of around 1.2m and 16kg. They can be kept in ponds of 1000 - 2000 gallons (4500 -9000 litres) for many years but bigger is better if you want to keep the fish into adulthood. Best-kept temperature range is from 10-18oC (50-65oF) but can tolerate higher temperatures if lots of oxygen is present.

sorry guys, all tanks has been collected..
yes, im concentrating on online sales...
for those who dealt with me before, you guys should know i only sell quality fishes..
and now, since there is lower overhead for me, be assured that my pricing is competitive..
if i do sell at slightly higher price, its because i spend my time to select that few specimen in hundreds..
and for this, my cost is also slightly higher...

should you guys need help sourcing for anything, please contact me... ( no promises)
should i be able to source what you want, be assured that its going to be the best specimen available...
else, i would just tell you its not available.. tongue.gif

again, thank you for your support...

never tried big pack. the instruction should be in there.
I bought a small to try but that LFS is selling so high,
and i lazy source others. So just do WC.
hmm~ my oscar is bullying my 2 eels.
Not sure the eels can stay stress free or not.

ok, actually, the more carbon you use, the faster it will asorb...
as simple as that... =)
and yes, to be safe, best use for a few days and remove it, else, it will leech back to the tank...
i personally like to use Ocean Free's 1kg carbon and pack them in to smaller bags and use when needed...
reason: they sizzle and gets a bit warm when being pre-washed..

the thing about carbon is that they absorb everything... good and bad...
(i might be wrong) tongue.gif but think about it... what about traces which is beneficial to the fishes and the ecosystem?

i will only use carbon when it is needed in a tank..

what can you suggest for a scavenger for my oscar tank plz? since i dont want any those dead bodies/meat chunks rotting by themselves.
buying a whole load of glass shrimps every 4 days which i ended 1 hour in a traffic jam is a tiring routine.
any suggestions and advice? fish only a bit bigger than my palm now.

crayfish? i know they work best as scavengers..

For predator fish filter...it has to be highly Oxidized. So that the bacteria can grow. I found out that too many layers of white sponge actually make the filter worse...

Sure will update some pic of my cacat filter...haha

the more nitrification bacteria grows, the faster it will convert ammonia to No2, and No2 to No3...
nitrification bacteria cannot break down No3 and this is when de-nitrification bacteria comes to play..

cultivating loads of de-nitrification bacteria to break down No3 is tricky... the easiest way is to perform water change...

some ways people use to tackle No3 in low stock tanks...

1.using thick fine substrate to create the anaerobic environment (4" at least)
2.using plants like cabomba and hornwort (plants will take No3 as fertilizer)
