sounds really cool, go for it. it woudl have to be a large tank for it though. i would say your would need to feed it like gold fish or minnows becaus they are cheap

but they grow to 60 feet well their tentacles grow to sixty feet but where are you going to keep him in the mean time and they come from the open ocean so you have to have ceartin set up actuallly you'll need a like 15 foot high tank with no rock or plants or fish and you can only have sand in there and it will need cold water but i think that would be a wast for just one fish and they need a current and wind for survival so i wouldnt do it but its your desision

you have to have a specially designed tank for JF that replicates the ocean to an exact science so....put that on a 20ft stand and have fun. might look good in a vaulted ceiling room with a balcony ... uhh bad idea on a jellyfish tank without mundo research and mundo mulah.....

its not really just one animal but a community of hydroids and such. If you did keep it you could add one or two manowar fish. Really cool but super hard to find.
