Jellyfish?

[vmontice]

Hello,
I have been researching about pet jellyfish and I think i would really enjoy keeping one. Although I can find places that sell octopuses but cant find anyplace that sells jellyfish online. Would anyone know a website for me to check out?
Thanks,
Vince

You can't post websites on this forum, they don't like it. In my opinion, jellyfish are rather dumb and hard to keep. it's hard because you can't have anything thing that sucks up water. no powerheads,over flow etc .. they will swim right in and get caught and will die.
hope it helps. if you are really intrested, where do you live. I know this LFS that sells it about 14.99.

Id use a pump in the tank so I now think a jellyfish isnt a wise idea at this time.
Thanks,

Unfortunately, as mentioned, jellyfish are very delicate and don't work well in our tanks. They are kept in special tanks called Kreisel tanks that have no edges, corners, etc, and a particular type of flow pattern. Many also need chillers to keep the water cold. So they can be kept pretty easily in tanks designed for them, but not typically in our home tanks

i went to japan a a while back and at a kids toy store in Ginza they sold nano-cube like tanks to house a jellyfish, they looked amazing, i wish they sold em here.. the poeple there said it was a big crazy for kids and adults to own jellyfish as a pet.
