om...
Hi , my first post here , just a quick question.

I have 2 sterlets in my pond , which are fine and healthy(apart from
one which insists on dragging half the pond round with his tail) , as
i have only had them for 6 month i have no idea how to treat them over
the winter months , pond shop people say treat them the same as rest
of my fish , does anyone own sterlets?...any advice would be
appreciated.

Many thanks

Amanda

I have sterlets/sturgeon in my pond, (long nosed) and they tend to stay
deep, im concerned about the one dragging stuff?? do you have bad blanket
weed, as sterlets can get caught up in it and "drown".

fantastic fish, mine have been kept in a raised bath for 4 years (and are
now in a pond half raised and half sunk) and coped well..

I feed a few sinking pellets once a week in winter (never sure if they get
down to the sterlets tho..)
