Freshwater sturgeon belongs to carnivorous fish, and their feeding habits are relatively narrow. And they eat different foods at different stages. Juvenile sturgeons like to eat some plankton, and common aquatic oligochaetes, chironomid larvae, cladocera and copepods are their food.

As adults, they can eat more kinds of food, such as small fish, shrimp, mollusks, shellfish, crabs, clams, crustaceans and so on. Although they can eat a little more kinds of food in adulthood, they can catch limited food because they don't swim fast and their ability to prey is not strong. In addition, during artificial breeding, you can feed some water earthworms, red worms, bumper shrimp and other foods. When they eat normally, they can also choose to feed some synthetic feed.

The demand for food for freshwater sturgeon is not very high. When artificially cultured, you can choose to feed it once a day, and it is most appropriate to control the feeding amount at 8 minutes per time. If you feed live bait, it is best to choose some slow-moving live bait so that they can catch it. In addition, sturgeon is a benthic fish, which likes to live under the water. It is best to choose some sinking feed when feeding food artificially, so that they can get food.
