JellyFish TANKS: The Hobby is Expanding!!

[DarthLungFish]

Just got the latest issue of FAMA Magazine August 2006 edition. On Page 106, I came across an add selling "JellyFish Systems". I checked out the web-site and I thought this was pretty cool. I've never seen a none public display of Jellyfish. A little on the high end, but very cool.

they need a kreisel design tank... and alot of food daily.... phytoplankton and baby brine shrimp.. and other things to.. im pretty sure.. i wish these would be left to public aquariums and the ocean,.. just to hard to keep

True to being hard to keep, but these guys must have found a market to build such a tank. I would like to know which people buy them and their feedbak regarding the care and up keep of these tanks.

too much $$$ plus they dont interest me

 

[DarthLungFish]

I don't know, it got my interests. Just too much money though to spend on the tank. I would rather spend that on a new 500g from GlassCages!!

Cause the tank has to be circular, cause in a regular tank they would get stuck in a corner. Also they need a constant flow so the jelly fish stay suspended in the water, and it is most likely buit into the tank.
