They grow large and need cold water.
And by right, not legal to be kept in Singapore.
Though you can see them once awhile in lfs or Farm.

Many of the sturgeon species are listed either Vulnerable, Endangered or Critically Endangered. Reasons includes habitat destruction to over fishing for their caviar.
Plus some are CITES Appendix I species which make them illegal to be kept as pets in Singapore.

Unless you are equipped to house them in cold conditions, extremely clean and fast flowing waters, suggest you look for species are that much more suitable for Singapore's climate.

For more information, look through the Red List of Threatened Species website:
