SRC Member ah^siao Posted November 4, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted November 4, 2003 the current must be damn slow... no AIR BUBBLES must be seen in the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member ozy Posted November 4, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted November 4, 2003 I believe AT has mentioned before that Jelly Fishes need a special tank where the creatures are kept from the tank sides so that they are not squished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member ah^siao Posted November 4, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted November 4, 2003 yes that's true.. u gotta prevent your jelly fish from touchingg the sides of your tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuEl Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Drop by underwater world and see their jellyfish setups...By the way..jellyfish lacking stinging cells usually have short and stubby tentancles...if they are coloured instead of being transparent most likely they store photosynthetic zooxanthellae. If I'm not wrong people in Japan keep jellyfish in a fishbowl without any form of filtration for safety purposes. Obviously...the bigger the fishbowl the more stable your water parameters.

Achilles Tang Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 The average home aquarist is ill-suited to keeping a Jellies Tank. Trying to keep one in your rectangular tank means it'll be dead soon. Do a search on a 'Kreisel tank' here in SRC for more info on a proper jellyfish tank. Just forget the idea. Too much cost involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Wei Posted November 5, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted November 5, 2003 Hi Chimo, u can feed jellyfish with cyclop-ezze. At least, thats what the Dr told me at the Argent booth. However, its better you find out what jellyfish u keeping & their requirement. Then, its easier to tackle on the feeding & keeping.

SRC Member ozy Posted November 5, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted November 5, 2003 Well I am interested in keeping them too, but never did since AT has advise against it. here are some links I have found while searching for the tank design. http://www.masla.com/invert/jellyfishpets.html http://www.moonjellyfish.com Well this guy tried in a regular tank but failed. http://eelink.net/~eeadmin/ee-link/archive...222/370222.html http://jellieszone.com/captivejellies.htm http://www.reefs.org/library/talklog/r_toonen_051798.html Dispite my efforts in searching, I can never find a schemantics of the design for the tank. Anyone care to share if one is found? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member reefer guy Posted November 5, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted November 5, 2003 heard from someone before that keeping jellyfish needs sandy bottom alone and no liverocks... how true is it and what's the reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member jas_soh Posted November 5, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted November 5, 2003 heard from someone before that keeping jellyfish needs sandy bottom alone and no liverocks... how true is it and what's the reason? i suppose it's because with the "bouncing" the jellyfish get easily injured by rubbing against liverocks..... the finer the sand the better....

Achilles Tang Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Great links! Thanks for sharing! So now more people will be convinced that keeping jellyfish is really a specialized task with every special housing needs and troublesome feeding requirements. Better to leave them in the sea and don't support any trade in them. AT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
