QUOTE(Piratefx @ Nov 8 2013, 07:48 PM) Any sturgeon lovers in the house? Some pics of Titan, my blind Amur. Been with me about 10-11 months now, from 4 inches to a foot long thus far.   4 inch Titan, on the left. Same tank minus the hideous background. The other sturgeon didn't make it. :-  Wah kao, Sturgeon sia! Who knows where to get one of these, n around how much? This I really feel like getting, but from what I know, they like dark and deep places. What is the water depth required for this monster? temperature? |

Lol i buang total Rm10 of tiny catfish, silver lokang fish, the carp feeder
The gar only manage to makan 1 leh! then all the other fishes finish the feast already.. too expensive to feed like that. Lol
Not too possible to handfeed for my situation, it has too many place to run n hide haha. Now i only simply throw food waste like, chicken breast shreds, fish skin leftover from making fishballs, tasteless pork meat from soup (Pardon me for non halal) .. they do sometimes manage to grab some of the food..
But the spotted gar always nowhere to be seen.. It's behaviour so different from alligator. Alligator likes to stay around the top of the water, near plants, but the spotted gar, likes to sink below the pond hiding in corners.. hard to feed the spotted gar. hope they didnt die.. hard to find them too.

QUOTE(Piratefx @ Dec 7 2013, 10:44 PM) Gonna reply to this on this thread for the benefit of any Sturgeon enthusiasts (Of which you are the first one i've encountered lol). I'm not using chiller, i bought total about 7-8, only 3 could take it. The rest bungkus. As for the Arowana shops, there are two dedicated aro breeders along jalan sungai buloh, Yek Fong and Oriental Aquatics, the shop i'm talking about is near oriental aquatics. Google persiaran sungai buloh, it connects to jalan sungai buloh, make a left at the T junction and its the 3rd or 4th shop on your left, got koi sign outside. Its a small shop, if you went to the shop that is very wide with many concrete koi ponds, you went to far, make U turn. Oh and don't pay more than $40 per sturgeon. As for depth, i think 3 feet is ok, i'm eventually transferring mine to a 2ft deep 1000g pond. My advice - don't keep small sturgeons in ponds, they will have difficulty finding food, if you have koi or other fish then they will whack all the food before sturgeon can find it. Keep them in tanks until they get bigger then transfer. I read up a bit more on caretaking of sturgeon, seems like they need a lot of food (Worry if i away for 1-2weeks, I think... they will go heaven) and with all the difficulty n risk of dying, i think i will not take up this pet fish.. Don't feel like keeping something n see it dies. haha I cant setup a small tank at my house due to.. wetness and affecting the house design! lol, soo, it's a no sturgeon for me.. One day if i have the chance, I will try. |
