Albino Sterlet Sturgeon 10-12”

🐉 Albino Sterlet Sturgeon (10–12”) – Rare Coldwater Ancient with Golden Elegance

Introduce one of the most graceful and ancient freshwater fish to your collection with the Albino Sterlet Sturgeon (Acipenser ruthenus – Albino Morph). At 10–12 inches, these juvenile giants are already showing their pale gold-white armor, long trailing whiskers (barbels), and pre-historic body structure, gliding peacefully along the bottom like a living fossil.

The Albino Sterlet is one of the few sturgeon species suitable for indoor tanks, thriving in cool, clean, and well-oxygenated water. Their unique coloration, rarity, and peaceful behavior make them a show-stopping addition to ponds or large aquariums alike.
