White Diamond Sturgeon (14-15”)

Scientific Name: Acipenser transmontanus (White Diamond variant) Maximum Size and Lifespan:The White Diamond Sturgeon, a selectively bred color morph of the White Sturgeon, can reach impressive lengths of up to 6 feet in captivity, though most in aquaria stay around 3–4 feet (90–120 cm). In the wild, this species can exceed 12 feet (360 cm). Lifespan is exceptionally long—typically 50 to 100 years under proper care. Recommended Aquarium Size, Water Change and Care:Due to their size and activity level, the White Diamond Sturgeon requires an extremely large, well-oxygenated, and cool-water environment. A minimum of 300-600 gallons is recommended for juveniles, with larger custom ponds or indoor tanks exceeding 1,000-1500 gallons for adults. Perform 30-50% water changes weekly to maintain pristine water quality, as these fish are sensitive to poor conditions. Ensure strong water flow, ample dissolved oxygen, and cool temperatures between 50–65°F (10–18°C). Use smooth substrates like round
