hey if your still looking for one jellyfish art has moon jellyfish for 18 to 22 dollars for a small one if you still want one

[@apdroidgeek1737]

if you still want a jellyfish i suggest buying the upside down jellyfish. They require minimum feeding because like corals they are photosynthetic. You also dont need a special tank for them but you cant keep anything in that aquarium except upside down jellies cuz they have remote controlled stingers and will sting everything around them.

U don’t just go to the sea and pick a jellyfish u like or see, here’s a tip:only pet moon jellyfishes or mushroom cap jellyfishes they r completely harmless and also if u want someone to keep u company but don’t want to spend much time with it just keep these creatures bc they don’t really have a brain so they won’t need people to keep petting them and playing with them 😉

[@thejellyfishwarehouse5062]

Great video, hopefully you can learn to forgive the jellyfish with time! A couple of tips about keeping jellyfish that may be useful to everyone: when using dry jellyfish foods, make sure they are fully hydrated before feeding! We recommend letting the food sit in a cup of tank water for 5 minutes before feeding. Also with jellyfish foods: dry foods are super potent. Like serious jellyfish steroids. To prevent water fouling and overfeeding, feed them just a little each day. It takes roughly a fifth of the dry food to feed them compared to live brine shrimp. A lot of people make the mistake of over feeding their jellyfish. Keep the videos coming!

This is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. With so many KZbin longplay videos of jellyfish, I think I'll stick to using my TV as my "aquarium." An HD camera beats the hell out of maintenance every time.

[@TomoyoTatar]

Yes. I do want one, I always have. I always will want one. I don't care if they sting. Tbh though I only want moon jellies or comb jellies. When I was a little girl and moved to the USA from Poland, I was swimming in the ocean in Florida with thousands of comb jellies and it was the most amazing experience in my life. They fill me with a profound sense of peace and joy. I'm grateful for these creatures.

I had a very large tank in my basement in london, which was a bit of a sin bin for old sea water, and pieces of collected rock which were in the process of decision making. there was no air pump or filter and it was generally clear. On one occasion I noticed one of the rocks had scyphistoma attatched and soon there were ephyra in the water. there was plenty of food available in such a large volume of water and very soon there were little moon jellyfish pulsing around. As you say facinating for a while, but I found the novelty run out of steam very quickly.
