Siberian Sturgeon
This fish is for an exclusive club. The largest and most ancient fish species is the sturgeon fish. Smaller than some of its cousins, the Siberian sturgeon is suitable for ponds with an area that does not get much over 75 degrees, or super large aquariums. And suitable for caviar, though the caviar will have to wait a few years. These fish take a long time to grow to maturity and can outlive the owner (if the owner is as old as this writer). Research, research, and be ready if you want to invest in this rare and exotic species. Though endangered in Central Asia due to overpopulation and loss of habitat, these fish are pond raised in Florida and plentiful.
