Description
The Amur Sturgeon is a large, ancient freshwater fish native to the Amur River basin. Known for its elongated body, bony scutes, and barbels, it is a bottom-dwelling omnivore. Due to its immense size, reaching up to 10 feet, it is strictly suitable for very large, specialized ponds or public aquariums, requiring expert care.
