Our sturgeon species at a glance

Today, the following sturgeon species are kept in the fish stock, of which certainly not every species has anything to do with large ponds or garden ponds, such as the houses as predatory fish in the koi pond or the spoon sturgeon, which finds no plankton to filter in the crystal-clear koi pond.

Some of these sturgeon species are also reproduced, which was only possible thanks to the latest hot-water hatchery technology.

The different types of sturgeon differ in appearance, but also in their behaviour in natural surroundings as well as in ponds. This means that anyone who wants to buy a sturgeon can get the most suitable species for their needs. It goes without saying that the clearer the water, the better the chance of seeing darker coloured sturgeon species.

Siberian sturgeon is relatively easy to propagate, grows quickly and is very popular as a food fish because of its good meat quality. It finds however by its favourable price ever more approval with pond owners, although it is quite uninteresting as a basic inhabitant with a simple dark appearance in the pond.

The Sternhausen has perhaps the most beautiful body drawing, since it has bright speckles everywhere in addition to the white rows of bone plates. In addition, the “duck’s beak” rostrum (snout) gives it a special appearance and is a good distinguishing characteristic to the wax thick.

As one of the smallest representatives of sturgeon, the sterlet is also interesting for medium-sized ponds. The sturgeon, which used to be native here, is brownish in colour with many small bone plates and white fin seams.

It quickly becomes sexually mature and is often used as a parent for hybrids. As the only sturgeon species it is viable with albinism and is then a special attraction as a snow-white sturgeon in the pond.

Adriatic sturgeon and white sturgeon have a very similar appearance. As full-grown animals they can become very large and are therefore only suitable for large waters. Sexually mature fish of these sturgeon species are present in the Primus fish stock with specimens of 30 to 200 kg.

The Waxdick is probably one of the most interesting sturgeon as pond fish, since it has a very contrasting body colouring. The fish is mostly at the bottom, but includes the shore in the search for food. Fischgut-Primus – sturgeon – sturgeon farming

Like all young sturgeons, young wax thick have big problems with filamentous algae, but larger ones no longer, quickly become tame and even eat out of their hands. Today they are one of the most sought-after sturgeon species, even in ponds.

The insensitivity of sturgeon to diseases and parasites and the wide range of water temperatures in which the fish still feel comfortable are also worth mentioning. Sturgeons naturally feed on soil organisms such as mussels, snails, worms and small crustaceans. However, most sturgeon species can be easily converted to “artificial” food, which makes feeding sturgeon in ponds much easier. In sturgeon farming we only use sturgeon feed (no trout feed), because we were able to achieve the best results in terms of fish health and growth. The suitable food for your sturgeon can of course be obtained from our fish in various grain sizes and units of measure. Some sturgeons are now being bred, and that is a good thing. All 24 sturgeon species still occurring worldwide are threatened with extinction. But also thanks to the private boom of sturgeon as pond fish, many species are artificially propagated, which in turn benefits the remaining natural populations. On the one hand, these can remain untouched and, in addition, the sturgeon farms are often coupled with reintroduction programmes of native sturgeon species. When dealing responsibly with sturgeon, as it should be with Koi, you will enjoy the sturgeon in the pond. However, when choosing the sturgeon species, it is important to remember that they are also selected to suit the water body. Because sturgeons can grow very large.
