Jelly fish

[ometh]

regards to the link i posted do it. I read that it comes with a sponge bubbler filter which is deadly to jellies. air + jellies = dead glob.

I was just thinking you would have to be really careful with the filtration--maybe put sponges on the intakes--otherwise you could suck your jelley right down the intake?

could work. the flow from the filter has to be really gentle so if you have a shut off valve on the lines to the tank turn them down a bit.

When it comes down to it you're paying more just for the tank. You can run basic wet dry or even canister filters on it but he tank like said above will be the mos expensive part. They have a nano sized orb tank somewhere online but the filtration lacks a lot.

Some months back I had an aquarium professional go into a detailed explaination for me of how to set up a proper jellyfish tank. Some of the points were as ometh said above. A bunch of the points I can't even remember at this time, but the estimated cost of the setup was in the thousands of dollars range (what they described was to keep a bunch of jellyfish not just one). Better get cracking on google to get some more husbandry info. Good luck.

Get a spherical tank. jellies tend to get stuck in the corners of rectangular tanks and it tends to cause them stress from what I've heard. No sand or any type of decor because this can cause damage to the bell. FYI they have been recorded to grow 1ft across in captivity so be very wary in picking a tank for this guy. Big tank = big jelly small tank = small jelly. temps should be on the cooler side

Hi, One of my friends gave me his jelly fish and I don't know if I am taking good enough care of him. I am pretty sure he is a moon jelly fish, he is in temporary 1.5g aquarium until I get him a bigger one. He is under a 60watt bulb. Am I keeping him correctly or should I try finding him a new home?
