sturgeon?

 

[Gravesj1s]

It does look alot like a sturgeon

 

[psychofishy]

Right.. the shape and color (especially pointy nose and pointy things on tail) reminds me a lot of the "Acipenser Baeri" sturgeons I used to keep back in the netherlands...

so my guess is "Acipenser Baeri"

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

my first thought was Sturgeon as well.

Is this a marine fish?

 

[BBQ BLUE]

Farawella or baby remora?

 

[superkat]

the suspense is killin' me.....

You guys are good! It's Acipenser ruthenus, a variety of sturgeon. Even though it's freshwater, it really has a shark- like resemblance and swims in a similar fashion as well.
