Must get a new tank.

hows polydon's growth rate ?

Found online - "By the end of their first year, baby paddlefish grow about 10 to 12 inches. They can live up to 30 years."

Nice looking fishes but so demanding once they start growing.

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.
