I have been browsing google and it seems that breeding and sale of live sturgeons in quite common there. They have even developed color morphs of various sturgeon specifically for ponds and aquariums. Is anyone doing that here in North America?

Morphs anger me beyond belief. It is hard to buy a wild color snake of any species nowadays due to peoples fascination with messing with what was already perfect. I promise if people start doing this with native fish, I will be done.

Yeah, I'm not wild about color morphs either, I just want some fingerling shovelnose sturgeon

I'm actually somewhat the opposite way on this. I actually love to see naturally occurring color morphs, though I'm not to crazy about the man made ones.
I'd love to see some of our killifish get there colors enhanced by a few generations of selective breeding.

PM me for prices on color morphs. Shovelnose are highly variable. I have 13 morphs available, $30-$90 each depending on strain.

Is importing not a thing?
Well not shovelnose, they are native...

Now you are just being cruel...

I would need a photo with a wet fish on today's newspaper with a wet fish outline on the paper to believe this. Make it happen and I will pay you $90 for two 30 dollar fish plus shipping cost to Moons address.

By Spring 2017 Martin's Fantail Glo-Sturgeon should be ready for market.

I would swear some herp breeders must have God complexes.Some patent their morphs. I don't mind a natural morph. I do mind that breeders have all but abandoned captive reproduction of wild type critters. Why? Survey says? All searching for the goose that lays the golden egg. But my distaste for them is obviously in the minority.

I have mixed emotions about it, I love scarlet king snakes, natural color, but some of the unusual color morphs are pretty as well. I saw a scaleless snake the other day that has been bred for that trait...

Yeah, I own American, NOT ENGLISH, bulldogs. Pretty darn far removed from it's wild counterpart. So hypocrisy runs wild in my brain as well.
