jellyfish care

**ray-j** · 12-26-2010

Hi,

I was thinking about starting a jellyfish tank. I am only in the beginning research phase. I am wondering if anyone here keeps jellyfish and if you do share some insight and wisdom with me.

Thank you in advance,
Ray

well I have never kept them but I know that you would need special filtration since they only move in the water current not on their own.
Also you would need a tank with no corners since they would just get stuck so no square tanks.

The only jellyfish species that you can keep relatively easily is the Cassaiopia or upside down jelly.

The regular ones need a specially built tank that creates the upward diffuse flow without any bubbles or harsh flow.

Kreisel aquariums are what you are looking for to keep most species of Jellyfish. As Anthony pointed out, upside down Jellies are the exception but clearly not as visually exciting as most. There are a few books available on maintaining them.
