hihi mate

3 yrs ago I saw this bluish jelly fish at Reb.... n bgt it for $25 . Shdnt hv done it becos it keeps getting stuck in my wet / dry trickle filter inlet.

Hope u dont hv one of those.

hmmm if i remember correctly, there was this thread awhile back.. they need really cold water... 22 degrees? or was is 20? not too sure... there're deep sea anyway.. and it's cold there...

yesterday went to reborn, they have about 10-15 packets of jelly fishes. WOW.. this is my first time seeing baby jellys.. so cute.. so small. some more got colour one.. light sky blue, got green... the colours are really nice.. but i think its rather hard to rear...

Agree...... If u own Jellyfish.... make sure your tank dun have those filter inlet.... current maker etc... it will really stuck there and u will be stress.......

Jellyfish shld be in a jellyfish only tank imo. THeir conditions required not suitable for most other reef inhabitants

If you keep jellyfish, you have to make sure there are no fine bubbles in your tank. Bubbles in the water will irritate the jellyfish and cause it to die. Also, it needs weak current flow.

There is one kind of jellyfish wh I successfully kept for abt 1 yr a few years ago. Its those that usually rest on the sandbed upsidedown. Greenish translucent in colour. I caught it at Sentosa before they destroyed the beautiful reef at the thrid lagoon. Fed it liquidfry marine & it survived. Released it back into the sea after about 1 yr becos then bgt a wrasse wh keeps picking on the jellyfish.

Yes jellyfish shd be kept in a species tank.

i think the tank has to be pretty high.

a 1.5 or 2ft tank dun seems quite suitable?
