Platinum Sterlet Acipenser Ruthenus

The smallest sturgeon species, Sterlet are naturally found in large rivers where they can enjoy the cool temperatures and high oxygen levels that they require. Unlike their larger cousins, they don't undertake extensive migrations and tend to dwell in deeper channels feeding on insect larvae, molluscs and other invertebrates. Young fish shelter in shallower water away from large predators.

All sterlets in the UK hobby are captive bred but they share the same preference for cool, flowing water with high oxygen levels. They have a shark-like swimming style and are very prone to getting tangled in blanketweed, often with fatal results. This means that a suitable pond needs to be large and uncluttered, with good filtration and strong water movement - conditions that are commonly found in koi ponds. The only snag is that sterlet don't have the same seasonal dietary demands, so they need feeding with a fairly high-protein specialised diet through the winter which may be a conflict with the needs of the koi. Orfe are perhaps the perfect companions for these fish as not only do they share the same water chemistry and temperature preferences, they share a susceptibility to chemicals found in treatments, so always check suitability before use.

Like koi, sterlet prefer hard water and keepers in soft water areas are advised to add buffers to increase KH levels and monitor these alongside the usual parameters such as ammonia and nitrite. As these conditions favour the growth of algae, an ultraviolet clarifier is usually an essential piece of equipment to maintain the clear water that allows you to appreciate your pets.

Currently the status of this species' native wild relatives is critical. As with any pet fish, it's important never to release sterlet into the wild where they can impact their wild kin.

Feeding

Carnivore that requires specialist sinking foods specifically formulated for Sturgeon/Sterlets, that are high in fish meal/shrimp meal protein and easily digestible. If other fish are present in the pond, always feed them their usual food first in order to keep them occupied, then offer the specialist sinking food to the Sterlets. This will help to prevent the other fish from greedily consuming all the Sturgeon/Sterlet food before it reaches the bottom. It is very important to ensure the Sterlets are not being outcompeted at feeding time, and equally important that they receive a specially tailored diet. As Sterlets have short guts with limited capacity, a number of small feeds per day is much more beneficial than one large feed, but do be careful not to overfeed. During the autumn/winter months, Sterlets will continue to feed down to 4 °C and it is important that they continue to receive small amounts of food (even when other fish in the pond aren't feeding) in order to prevent starvation. However, do remove any uneaten food promptly.

Works great
Color: 6pcs, Color: 6pcs
I'm 42,as I have been getting older,I have gotten a lot more peach fuzz in the face. I just started dermaplaning about 5 years ago,off and on. I have tried so many of the little electronic ones, only for the batteries to die fast or not work at all, they would stop working right away or break very easily. Some of them didn't work how I wanted them to work and I'd have to keep going back over and over my face just to get a good shave. I love these ones,they're cheap to start with,and it comes with 6 ,there's 4 bigger ones and 2 that are a tiny bit smaller,so you can use the smaller ones for smaller spaces,say above the lip,whereas the longer ones are better for longer swipes like on the cheeks. Another thing I love that other ones don't always have (the electric ones always have lid covers but the manual ones iver gotten haven't) ,these ones all have lids that fit nice and snug on top,that way you don't accident cut your fingers or hands when taking them out. It also comes with a nice little plastic carrying case which I live also because my other single ones always end up at the bottom of my drawers and I have to dig for them,with the case,they're all together and no need to search for them as you can't miss the case. Now how they work, it is easy to use,glides right across the facial areas with no problems. They're sharp(I believe it said Japanese stainless steel?) Makes it easy to glide across the face and not need to go over again so many times like you do with some others,if there's still a bit of fuzz left, go over it again, but I promise you'll go over your face a lot less times than some others. Make sure you have put on so.e type of moisturizer before using these,never dermaplane on dry skin. I'm glad I got these,will keep buying from now on!

I absolutely love these dermaplaning razors! The stainless steel blades feel sturdy and high-quality, giving me confidence every time I use them. They work amazingly well, effortlessly removing peach fuzz and dead skin without causing irritation. After using the razors, my face feels incredibly smooth and refreshed, like a mini facial at home. I appreciate how easy they are to handle and how precise the blades are, making dermaplaning simple and effective. These razors have become an essential part of my skincare routine, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and gentle dermaplaning tool.

Format: Kindle
Trying to distill WWll down to a little over 400 pages is a Herculean task but Mr. Kennedy does a serviceable job. He provides thumbnail sketches of the major players' personalities and tics. He does an admirable job of jumping back and forth between the European and Pacific theaters of operation, always keeping in mind America's POV in explaining how FDR and his staff dealt with their fractious, troublesome allies. He explains how the Rosie the riveter myth is pretty much a fabrication and how America's approach to manufacturing was able to out produce the German mode of war production: America going for Quantity vs. the German fixation with Quality. Lots interesting information and facts. There are areas where I thought he could have used more depth such as the death of FDR (probably no more than two pages.if that); Mussolini and Hitler's last hours are given mere paragraphs; Churchill being voted out of office just months shy of victory in Europe is given maybe two paragraphs and while he mentions how Tibetts went to the airplane factory to pick the future Enola Gay off the assembly line he gives short shrift the immensely expensive and technically complex challenge of building the A-bomb. Nor does Mr. Kennedy mention that when HST hinted to Stalin that America had an powerful new weapon Stalin was all ready aware of the activities going on at Trinity and of the Manhattan Project. Mr. Kennedy doesn't offer any new information or insights but this is a good, one-book overview, of the war.
