 Topic: Has anyone here ever kept Jellyfish?

Besides Adam. I've got his tank and i'll be starting a tank thread soon of my progress in raising jellies but I'm modifying his system quite a bit. Surprisingly, I can't find much info about raising jellyfish.

I had one for a while, but it got caught and fatally stung by a Blundell Button. It faded away soon after. No really, I'm not just saying that because you mentioned Adam.  I learned that Jellies cannot be in the same tank as stinging coral. I suppose Jellies would be okay with Gorgonians, Sarcophyton and Sinularia. Their life cycle is really interesting. Have fun, Mark

Thanks for the info. This tank would be just jellies in the main tank and then a sump with live rock and sand. However, I would love to keep starfish as well but I don't know if there would be food for them except the leftover jelly food.

Jellys need a different kind of flow then most tanks provide. They are typically kept in a kreisel, which makes a big circlular flow pattern. Google jelly fish kreisel and you will see what kind of aquarium I am talking about. I am not sure how well a standard aquarium would work to house jellys.

I tried but didn't have a proper tank for them. I do know you can feed them brine shrimp. Dont need light really. Slow circular flow is good. If they get caught on the bottom of the tank, they'll die so make sure they're suspended in the water column properly. I did find a few sites about them but I can't remember what they were.. Just do a few different variations of the questions you're asking on google and you should find plenty.
