Down by the pond fish section we have installed a new tank. We have stocked it with Diamond Back Sturgeon.
The diamond sturgeon (also known as the Persian sturgeon or Acipenser gueldenstaedtii) is a large, ancient fish species found in the Caspian and Black Sea regions. It is known for its distinctive diamond-shaped bony scutes along its body.
Sturgeon can grow very large so the pond must be deep and spacious to allow swimming.
You can keep sturgeon in a koi pond, but there are important factors to consider to ensure their health and survival. Sturgeon generally get along with koi, but avoid sharp rocks or aggressive fish that may injure their sensitive bodies.
Sturgeon are bottom feeders and often require sinking food pellets. In mixed ponds, ensure koi don’t eat all the food first.
Sturgeon need high oxygen levels, more than koi, especially in warm weather. A powerful aeration system or oxygen pump is essential. Sturgeon are sensitive to poor water quality. The pond must have strong filtration to keep ammonia, nitrite, and waste under control.
Sturgeon prefer cool water and can suffer in high summer temperatures.
A microscope is an essential piece of equipment for the Koi keeper. It allows you to easily identify fish parasites.
Stop the spread of an infection before it becomes a serious problem.
Once you have diagnosed a problem you can choose the most appropriate treatment and administer it without delay.
If you are at all unsure how to use a microscope you can find many helpful tips from YouTube. There are several videos that show you clearly the most common fish parasites and you will soon realize that this tool is actually very simple and easy to use.
We have now started stocking a new Microscope Kit that includes everything you need to carry out fish skin scrapes.
It is exceptional value for money and will be ideal as a first microscope as it is very simple to operate.
It is even supplied with its own secure carrying case!
