Will it be called Nicola by any chance.

[The Three D Mucketeer]

Maybe I should get a Salmon and call him Alex .

Assuming this is a genuine question, Is your pond suitable for a Sturgeon ?

[The Three D Mucketeer]

Not sure what's required ... it's 1000 litres

It's a shame my favourite pond supplies store closed down. Kois R Us.

It will need some water in it.

OP this time next year

For me, they are not really a suitable pond fish unless you have lake sized pond, but please read the below links for a basic understanding of their requirements....

Sturgeon need a huge pond. Like 6ft deep / 5000 litres minimum and ideally much much bigger.

You're going to need a lot more digging for your caviar farm.

OK looks like Gold Fish then
But at £120 a Sturgeon it's a bit of a waste of money if it dies in a week

We kept a couple growing up in our pond, they need a lot of space!!!

Very much so, also can become very tame

They grow quickly! Mine was about 7 inches when purchased, it's now around 2 feet long 3 years later, if not more. Pond is prob 8000 litres.

That pond doesn't look big? We had one in Wales about that size, 3-4 foot deep, 6 foot across. We had three goldfish, newts and frogs

That's a pretty poor spell, no self respecting witch would admit to that.

[bobtail4x4]

there is an old mushroom farm near me, that has several large ponds, full of sturgeon,
once a year they "milk" them, and put them back in the tank,

the caviar sells at a premium as the fish lives,
