Thank you so much for this, Eric. So something similar does occur with humans.

Hi Viktor,

Do you think they could have matured and spawned in the sump? Are they too small to have spawned in there?

Cheers, Eric

I cannot prove it didn't happen but I don't think it was possible. There was only one resident in the sump of about 4", the rest were far smaller and 75% very thin with a caved in tummy. There hasn't been much food escaping the two 240 gal tanks and washing down into the sump. Of course, I never fed the cichlids in the sump. Impossible to spawn in this condition.

Thank you. There are some hurdles remaining, hopefully just bureaucratic but who knows what can come up as a result of getting a business license and the final municipal inspections. What remains now is we need to get a permit for an "unpermitted" building structure, that is the pavilion/lanai housing the 25K exhibit, and then pass the final fire/electric/safety inspection.

Here is the latest video you are referring to:

Thank you, Master Jools! :) Let's see if we can indeed open. Thank you for hosting our build thread for all these years.

Life and death march on hand in hand.

Very impressive. How come that sturgeon is so docile?

Thank you. IDK. These is our first significant experience with sturgeon, let alone the belugas. Maybe that the way they all are, or maybe that's the way the farmed ones are, quite used to human handling. Ever since we got them, they were never afraid of us whatsoever. Plus, they seem to be exceedingly primitive fish with little awareness of keeper, self, aggressive tank mate, etc.
