Does anyone on here have sturgeon?

I have a bearded dragon named Bob. I wanted a water dragon, but never ended up getting one. I'm pretty picky when it comes to lizards, I like friendly ones not ones that bite and have major attitudes like iguanas.

I have a bearded dragon too. I was considering an eastern water dragon but heard they weren't as good for pets. Our beardie is the friendliest lizard, I love him so much.

When I was going to buy a water dragon, they weren't very friendly when I'd try to pick them up at the pet store. So I didn't get one. I like being able to pick up my bearded dragon without issues. I had a ball python at one point that was quite aggressive to the point of getting bit.

Not necessarily a fish, but I have an axolotl!
Her name is Gleep, she’s a very interesting pet! We keep her in a 55 gallon, she loves playing with her filter bubbles and sleeping under her log hide <3

We also used to have a very beautiful goldfish with a big personality. His name was Gilbert, he was so sweet, loved to eat right from your fingers and follow you around the tank when you walked by. Unfortunately, he recently..... disappeared? No lid fit with his filter, and his water was tested weekly and changed often, but we think he must’ve jumped, no idea where he ended up after
I love seeing other people’s happy fish though!!

I love her OMG

And I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a dark one! Usually I see the white ones. I like her color much better. Freaks me out being able to see all the organs lol

And awww I’m sorry about your goldfish!

I have been trying to breed for years unsuccessfully! Stage 1 was 13 + different VT, 2 dbl tail delta, and 1 half moon P. I achieved the fry stage 3 times, then failure. Stage 2 was 3 males, 2-3 females over 4 years, and limited devotion to breeding.
I did have a copper orchid female and she was something else!!! Shipped from abroad; she would wake us up at night shaking and smacking snails on the side of her tank at night.
Currently my set up is 1 female beta, 10 g brackish shrimp tank, 1, 29 g fresh planted tank.
Chickens have demanded our attention for 3 years, and the poor fish are not the center of our universe ATM!
However I am going to change that!

Sorry you haven’t had much success with the breeding.

Wow that betta sounds like a real character!! LOL

And that’s awesome!! What sort of fish do you have in the 29 gallon? Tropical? Or is it just plants?

And that makes sense!! Currently I’m mostly focused on my chickens too, have hatching eggs in the incubator haha, but just got back into bettas I love it.

Oh and those tanks are so pretty

You do know male bettas may kill each other?

Hopefully they had females? Or one male and a female

I will have to follow this thread. I have not had fish for many years now. I often think of setting up a small 10g tank just to have fish again. When I was into fish I had a 500g reef tank with many corals, fish, shrimp, starfish etc and a 100g saltwater setup that was mainly a damsel habitat with a goby in there. I also had a 75g planted freshwater setup with different fish in it and another 75g that held a pleco, catfish and sailfin mollies that I bred for feeder fish.
I won't get into the spiders, snakes and lizards lol
My whole basement was set up with all this and that was where I went to relax and read.

Oh wow that all sounds amazing!!! And definitely relaxing for sure

I think you should definitely get another tank!! Whether that’s the 10 or even something like a 20 or 29.

I’ve always admired and kind of envied the people who could do salt water tanks. They are so cool and so many pretty fish but way too much work for me. Maybe one day though.

And I actually have a reptile thread if you want to get into those!

https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/reptile-lover’s-thread.1331546/

You can talk about all of the above. I included all of them cause I know a lot of people that own reptiles also own amphibians and insects and stuff haha

So yeah, I’d love to hear about them if you want.

And I hope you can get back into the hobby, whether it’s fish or the reptiles or both.

Sounds like my tank minus the gouramis

I really want a community tank

This is cool! I had to look it up to see what it was. Very interesting pet!

I’ve heard of people having them but didn’t know much about them and usually see the white ones. And I also think most people don’t give them near as much room as that! She’s one lucky axolotl.

LOL iguanas are so feisty!!!

Right now I just have one mystery snail, named Chester. Used to have a betta but he sadly passed away.

Awww I’m sorry about your betta!

Does anyone on here have sturgeon?

I don’t but they seem like cool fish!! The aquarium at the Mall of America has a sturgeon tank as well as a river set up and an awesome shark tank

I have a bearded dragon too. I was considering an eastern water dragon but heard they weren't as good for pets. Our beardie is the friendliest lizard, I love him so much.

I’ve heard iguanas aren’t good as pets either.

I would love a beardie.

Oh wow one feisty snake lol
