sturgeon can be bred in captivity, and certain species can be sold in the aquarium trade

those sturgeons were bred in captivity i believe, and he does maintain it well, i know it seems silly, but i like it.

Twitch:peace is not an option KZfaq: hygiene is an option

After I watched one of the guys longer videos, I am pretty sure it is not a basement but rather an old cistern that he has retrofitted as an aquarium. The water is higher than tese videos might suggest too.

Sterlet sturgeon are bred everywhere for food. You can literally buy their meat online for like $30. Sterlets rarely grow more than a meter and you can commonly find them being sold as pond fish as well. Acipenser ruthenus is their scientific name and they are vulnerable in the wild (mainly caviar and dams), but the reason they are so common is simply because they are a really good aquaculture fish and almost all individuals you see are captive bred. There have also been projects to reintroduce captive bred sturgeon back into wild habitats. They make decent pond fish if you live in cooler climates and you can generally pick up live specimens for about $200-$300.

How to unhook a sawfish: Step 1: get it’s tail Step 2: Pray

If I remember right the eel pit guy didn't flood fish basement, it's a big freshwater well/ cistern deal that fills naturally via ground and rain water He keeps and breeds a lot of endangered fish like lungfish and Cuban gar, he has permits and everything for them tho

You can buy locally bread sturgeons basically everywhere. Even albinos and they are not even that expensive

Well, since chickens are birds, I’d be more surprised if they weren’t obsessed with shiny things lmfao. They do also naturally eat insects and some small prey like mice, even. So they also might have chased the lure due to those instincts as well. Kinda reminds me of playing with a cat with a wand toy with a little mouse on the end.

That rat was a rakali! They are one of Australia's only native rodents and feed on river-based food.

I love the first one where the guy was fishing for chickens. It's so cute how they were chasing the shiny moving thing

Hi Twitch, glad we can all just enjoy cool fish content again

That looks like a sterlet sturgeon. They are commonly bred in captivity for their meat, so I doubt it's illegal to keep them.

sturgeon are common in pond industry especially in Europe. there are alot of variations to chose from, i have 2 diamond back sturgeon. wild population is endangered but very big numbers in captive population

It really depends on the sturgeon species. As there are a few species that are of low concern. Such as lake, shovlenose, and paddle fish.

To be fair sturgeon do live in those kind of rocky environments and those are lake sturgeon. They are not endangered. I also think the water is deeper than it looks in that whatever you call that

Everyone says hi youtube/twitch, but how about. Hi AVNJ

I haven't thought about sturgeon in about 15 years, so you mentioning them being endangered really made my heart stop lol When I was maybe 7, my family and I went up north in Minnesota to Rainy River where a family friend hosted us in their cabin. The week we were there, we fished for a sturgeon. We caught one, and we had a fish fry You mentioning it was endangered made my stomach sink, but I Googled it and MN dnr website says there's both a catch and release and harvest season, which I think our trip coincided with, thankfully. Core memory awoken

'You can't just put STURGEON in your *basement*' is at once the weirdest and one of the best things I've heard this week.

thats a rainwater cistern with cow turtle. its meant to hold water. also the water js cleaner than tap water because he cycles it with rainwater.

They’re diamondbacks which are the most ideal species for keeping in ponds

cowturtle also has blue crabs and dojo loaches in the pit

I live in London and my local garden centre sells Sturgeon as cold water pondfish, I nearly fell over when I saw they just in an discount aquarium shop, not even that expensive.

Hi twitch!! I love you! Can't wait for the make out sesh! And the fish knowledge

Sensationalist liars: "OH MY GOD! MEGALODON CAUGHT LIVE ON FILM!!" Zak: (sees the video.) Also Zak: 3:44

Twitch/KZfaq enemies to lovers arc

Hello twich ! Happy to see you !

1000 Dollars for atleast a few of his fish, yet the super thin glass aquarium is standing on an IKEA stand. I don't say it's deserved and I am sorry for him AND the fish but the set up had it coming

I hope the cow turtle collab is just a 2 hour video of zahak sitting fully in the aquarium with no commentary

You should watch his videos! He actually takes great care of his fish and crabs and the water is a lot deeper than it looks! It’s also not a basement, it’s a rainwater cistern

8:26 this triggers neuron activation in my bowfisherman brain

A 500 pound bluefin tuna can sell from anywhere between 20k and 100k dollars.

That tuna was like 100 dollars per pound. I used to work with commercial (not trawling so don't be concerned) fisherman, and they're worth their weight in gold.

“caused this gigantic invasive fish invasion of fish”

I’m a lurker, so I’m only going to type it this one time, but know every video I say it out loud, but, hi twitch chat o/

As someone from Malaysia, i got tilapia in my backyard and sometimes they jumped out from the water area and ended up on the land and cats devoured them. rip tilly.

Hi chat, ty for the peace

You can hear one of the guys that caught the sawfish say "Get me the cutters". You don't unhook them, you just cut the line

That Molly In the tube is like AHHHHHHH HELP

Do i get some kinda award for watching every single avnj video made? I wanna feel special

Hi twitch. Glad to be friends still

weird how it says it's a "juvenile snailfish" as snailfish is a generic term, describing multiple related species (similar to terms like minnow or carp). It's a hadal snailfish (named for being found in the hadal zone). not too terribly much is known about them, for obvious reason, but they're very neat little fish!

I actually do that first thing with my cat. I took one of his little toys and put it at the end of a fishing pole, cast it into my yard and he chases it around. My dad calls it “catfishing” lol

Carp taste good. There are captive bred sturgeon, those tend to be bred for color mutations. There are wild colored hetero for another recessive color. I don't watch the basement aquarium channel. While I think the basement aquarium pool is interesting, but I wouldn't stock it with eels and other fish like he has. I'd find cave fish, or make an effort to match up the specific water conditions for the North American cave fish that are super rare and need people who are willing to create aquariums to save the different species.

The eel pit guy is becoming a usual on this channel

Hello twitch chat! lovely to see you again!

Chickens are gnarly predators that's why they chase anything

Never realized how chunky tunas are from a top down view

Not to be 'that nerd' but the dad!rat from TNMT is called Splinter...

Hi twitch 🙂. Everything is back to how it should be

I would be more worried about fishing for the smalltooth sawfish. They're definitely capturing or attempting to capture an endangered species which is a violation of the Endangered Species Act.

Hi twitch! Have a nice day

I had the side of my 125 gallon burst, I cried.

Hi twitch. I’m glad to be reunited with you all again

Hi twitch! We’re chill now❤

Can't wait for the day of the cowturtle collab

Ain’t no way he hatin on cow turtle this dudes the fish goat

You could literally just put a bucket in water in places where there is a lot of baby tilapia and you'll get a lot of them (Sometimes bigger ones)

0:42 “what you do on rainy days when you can’t go fishing” but rainy days have the beat fishing?

I just wanted to say I'm recovering from wounds after being drafted into the Twitch, KZfaq, war. But I can understand. Me being a former Twitchchater. But my loyalty goes to youtube now. And I now say a forgive you Chat. And HELLO!! 😊 😊

The sturgeon were friends that out grow the pond they were in and he had the biggest tank.

7:02 let me make an assumption. Seeing this tank I believe the person who has it knows what he doing and why. My bet is that it is most likely a temporary solution to keep fish alive and on sight, for sorting or selling purposes or till they move to the pound.

As of today all 5 US Atlantic Sturgeon species are indeed still considered endangered or threatened.

AVNJ: We are a united nation that enjoys fish Me: and all that changed when the Fire Nation attacked...

I grew up going to the Baltimore aquarium, I've been in the tank with that saw nose guy, they have a special shark swimming thing you can do.

biggest bricks in the world behind that totally real child. also hi twitch chat

Chicken fishing was cute lil nuggets Rat is fricking epic look at it hope fish was tasty and hello twitch chat love ya

Howd i miss this upload for an hour

You’re such a dork, but it’s actually kind of endearing. I don’t even care about fish, but I like this channel.

we still need war, youtube vs twitch freshwater vs saltwater war is life

Yes avnj our lord and saviour

KZfaq says hi. And fight Shark Bytes

the tuna would probably be slightly over $5000 if it was a blue fin. it was a big boy

That basking shark wanted belly rubs 🥺

The fish in the tube - is it possible it died? It went backwards and the water can get in it's gills right?

My father calls carp “submarines”

just to ask are you able to talk about the practice of declawing crabs?

Hi Twitch! Hope y'all have a good day of fishing out there

I built a house on lake placid in Florida and 2 of the guys everyday after work would bow fish talopia and man they would just sit there. Even if they missed they'd only move a foot lol

Sup twitch chat thanks for the peace

People keep sturgeon is gaint farms or their eggs.

i mean.. seeing as Nick (The eel pit guy) has the permits AND it isn't even a basement (I mean seriously how are you still getting it so wrong despite so many people correcting you EVERY video where you're wrongly bashing a guy whos clearly well versed and caring enough towards fish to have permits to own more endangered and exotic fish) plus its a LOT deeper then it looks. Plus most eels burrow with rocks and gravel in the wild (cough cough freshwater american eels, which is literally the type of eels Nick owns btw).

Similarly to me, chickens are attracted to shiny things

It’s not a basement. It’s a cistern.

Hello again, Twitch chat.

Hi Twitch, I don't give consent, no kisses

Sawtooth is the reason I’m afraid of the ocean. Nothing else. Just this thing. It is nightmare fuel. They. Are. Fucking. Massive.

One person said"go away youtube" so I wont say hi. But I will say hi to a twich spy from youtube,hi!

I haven't forgiven Twitch for the war it started, I will Franz Ferdinand all of you

Hi twitch chat! 🥰

wait... so you stopped in Baltimore??? then damn maybe that was you that i saw parked in front of my house unpacking LOL. also hello twitch :)

i'm out of the loop can someone explain why twitch chat is full of emotes of the guy with the red sunglasses

Hello Twitch chat!!

Good marrow my Twitch overlords. I suppose we may mash our lips together. If you pay our rent.

2:54 that video should be on nature is metal 💀💀

I too also am in the sport of chicken fishing also known as Chickening

Hello Twitch, we have not forgotten. Reparations are expected

Hi Twitch! Love you! Hope you're staying safe and hydrated. ❤
