First off you would need a kreisel.

Fancy name for a special tank for jellies.
Secondly you would need a huge one. They are extremely expensive for small ones so a tank for a man of war would need to be insanely big.
Jellies are a bad choice of aquarium inhabitant. They are extremely fragile which is why the round tank is required. If the jelly were to bump in to a corner even very softly there is a good chance of it dieing. Then there is the hole getting stung part. Sometimes the the tentacles can break off and float in the water. Nematocysts which are the stinging cells can still fire even after the jelly is dead or the tentacle is detached from the organism. Jellyfish inject a extremely painful neurotoxin that has the potential to kill you. It destroys your nerves and without nerves your heart can't beat and you can't breath. Sound like a fun way to die? While most jellyfish (Schyphozoa, Cubozoa, and Hydrozoa) aren't deadly you always run the risk of an allergic reaction which would be deadly. So a jelly fish would be a bad type of organism to look after. Its best left to professionals and people with grant money to pay for a tank

Wouldn't that NOT work for a manowar seeing as they never are underwater?

Think you could keep one if the tank edges were rounded and there was a circular current?
Are they legal to catch?
or (probibly not but....) since they don't move on their own, and go entirely with currents, could you have something in place to keep the floating bladder part from floating everywhere, and bashing into the sides, but have a strong current going through the tentrils?

again, manowars cannot be in jelly tanks due to the fact they can not go underwater.
Plus I live right next to the ocean, and my uncle sees them on fishing trips he goes on.

Bad pet choice.
lol
Note : Man o wars aren't jellyfish.
Closely related though. They are actually a huge colony of hyrozoa as opposed to a large organism.
