Keeping sturgeons alive

Question
I have a 75 gallon tank and I bought 6 sturgeons 4 remains I want to know how do I take care of them so they won't die? I want them to get bigger so I can put them in the 225 gallon

Answer
Hi Fay,
 Are you aware that sturgeon grow very large (too large for even a 225 gallon tank)?

 As for keeping them alive, try feeding them sinking algae wafers.  The temperature isn't that important.  Be sure that they have lots of oxygen in the water.
