Default Sidney the Sturgeon

Been doing tank maintenance all day, cleaning sumps, pumps and odds and sods.

Clicked a few pics of the sturgeon, not the best quality pics but you can see that he's quite a big fellow

Beautiful fish! Shame they grow massive.

The ones in the big display pond at the Koi Carp Company in Henlow must be getting on for about 7 or 8ft!

Can't really tell, is that a Diamond Sturgeon?

Cheers Slash. It was sold to me as a regular sturgeon, but since seeing other sturgeons I'm sure it is a diamond.

When I got him he was about 8" now he's about 3ft, quite a fat lad too which is nice cos a lot of the ones I see in the LFS are so damn skinny.

Grandad... I been in the pond before mate NEVER AGAIN! bloody freezing! How about I tell fryboy I want him to take the pictures, but then we he's actually here, I'll throw him in

I couldn't throw tina in, she's far too nice for that sort of treatment
