Sterlets
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 no idea, Amanda ... but it would be helpful if you were to post where
you are - geographically speaking. Nedra "Amanda" wrote in message om... Hi , my first post here , just a quick question.

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..) HTH Lost |

In NA "sterlet" gets used in the aquarium trade, because they know they'll never sell "sturgeon" to people who know they get to be 6 ft. -- derek |

Amanda. Saw a really nice one today at the local garden centre. They have a huge new pond with a massive waterfall, and it was good to see this 3' Sterlet who was usually in a 6' metal tank swimming freely. There also had some really nice koi. Peter |
