 Topic: Upside Down Jellyfish, Anyone Tried Them?
Posted: February 29 2008 at 4:13pm |
|
I'm just curious to know if anyone has ever tried these out before... I've been toying with the idea of getting a few and seeing if I can keep them alive, unfortunately I haven't been able to find much information on them. If anyone has experience with them or information on keeping them, please let me know.
Thanks,
Tim

I've seen them in LFS's, and the living planet aquarium has some. I think we'd be able to keep them in a species only tank.

John,
If I get them, I'm going to put them in a nano all by themselves, no powerheads to get stuck in... How easy/hard are they to keep alive... or maybe a better question would be, how long have you kept yours before they met the powerhead?
Thanks,
Tim

John,
You're signature line cracks me up, because I picked up a 12 gal nano and I have no clue what to do with it either... thats what I was thinking of using for my jellies...

Aquatica in Orem had a few for sale and they were there at least 3 months that I saw them... but definitely not high flow tanks. They don't like Korallias, either. I bought one and it lasted maybe 8 minutes before it became 500 teeny tiny jellyfish pieces courtesy of a Korallia #3

it would be cool to put them in a nano that had a really blue or purple light maybe they would glow

John, I was actually thinking of putting in a pink light for my wife... She thinks pink jellies would be the coolest thing ever (really the cutest thing ever, but I hate the work cute..)
And Bob... that just sucks, kind of funny, but really sucks. I'll remember low flow and no powerheads for mine.
