Sterlets only get to be 48 inches maximum in the wild, about 24 inches in
captivity.

I really don't know what the "sturgeon/sterlets" sold in our aquarium stores
will get to - but the wild sturgeon can definitely get in excess of 6', so
they use the name "sterlet" in the stores regardless of what the common
name is here, just so that you don't think they'll get that size. Even two
feet is usually way too large for an aquarium.
