Re: Are sturgeon a member of the catfish family?
I have seen a fish I am almost certain is really the "Mother of Snails" catfish (Pseudodoras niger) called a sturgeon in a Local Fish Store. Is it possible this is the fish you mean?Wonderfull-Creations wrote:They look similar in appearance to a pl*co, was just wondering..
