What food does sturgeon eat mainly, how to raise

Sturgeon mainly eats some live bait and animal feed, because they are carnivorous fish. Sturgeon growing in the wild often eats some water fleas, small fish, shrimps and crabs. Juvenile sturgeon mainly eat some aquatic oligochaete, chironomid larvae, cladocera and copepods. When culturing sturgeon artificially, you can feed some shrimps, snails, mussels, red worms, water earthworms, synthetic feed and other foods.

1. What food does sturgeon eat?

Sturgeon like to eat some live bait most because they are carnivorous fish. Wild sturgeon likes to eat some small fish, shrimp, crab, water flea and so on. Sturgeon in its infancy will eat some cladocera, copepods, chironomid larvae and aquatic oligochaete light food. Artificial sturgeon can be fed some shrimps, snails, mussels, red worms, water earthworms, water fleas, synthetic feed, etc. The nutritional content of these foods is very rich, which is of great help to the growth and development of sturgeon. But different species of sturgeon have different habits and like different foods. When breeding sturgeon, you can choose the food to feed according to their habits, which will help them more.

2. How to raise sturgeon

1. Space: Sturgeon is relatively large in size, so it is necessary to prepare a large fish tank for artificial breeding, so as to ensure sufficient space for their activities. If conditions do not allow, at least prepare a space twice the size of sturgeon.

2. Environment: Sturgeon has low requirements on water temperature and water quality. As long as the water temperature is above 20 ℃, they can live normally. The PH value can be controlled at about 7.5, and the frequency of water change can be determined according to the cleanliness of water quality.

3. Oxygen: Sturgeon has a high demand for oxygen, so it is necessary to install an oxygen pump when raising artificially, so as to ensure sufficient oxygen in the water where they live.
