@ImACaveSpider complexity and lifespan aren't really indicative of one another. Cuttlefish and squids are neighbors in the tree of life, but cuttlefish on average have shorter lifespans Lifespan is less a function of complexity or intelligence, the closest link I know is metabolism if anything. The less active a creature is the longer it tends to live(this is a rule of thumb and absolutely not universal) tortoises and clams are some examples of this trend.

As a fellow jellies aquarist, this. All of this. There is so much work that goes in to caring for jellies and you need to pay a lot of attention to detail. If the flow is too high or low, or too much debris or algae, it's really easy for the jellies to all get damaged and not recover. Keeping a live brine shrimp hatchery is a project in itself let alone rotifers, or other food options.

The best pet cnidarian if you just want a cnidarian, is a colony of mojano anemones. Considered a pest by us reef keepers they are hardy, reproduce readily, colorful, fun to feed, need minimal light, tolerate a wide variety of water conditions. Probably easier and cheaper than a goldfish in a proper set up and you can also keep a fish with them. Perhaps a beautiful, captive bred clown fish.

This is absolutely fascinating! I fell in love with jellyfish as a kid when I saw them at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The cyclical tanks are so calming to watch. Moon jellies are so magical, and I've even had the pleasure of seeing wild ones in my area. I don't think I'll ever have the patience and budget to care for a salt water tank (and probably not even a freshwater tank), but I've always wanted to know how people could care for them on a small scale. I've also seen it theorized that jellyfish in general could be the one animal that's going to survive and possibly even thrive in the climate changes to the ocean, so I have a lot more respect for them than I originally did.

i'm an active jelly keeper and breeder, and i will say that feeding multiple times a day is not exactly necessary. once daily is perfectly adequate, and some species even once every other day. there are some that do need that constant feeding, but not moons. their tank also doesn't necessarily have to be round either, they just need the right flow to keep them from being sucked in or stuck. polyps can also just be blasted with a pipette gently for cleaning. they can also handle more fluctuations than most people think, and in my experience i'd say they're actually easier than coral to keep, and long term less expensive too. of course i'm not saying that the video is wrong not at all, but more i want to give another perspective if anyone reading this is interested in jelly keeping and got a little intimidated!

Thanks for making this. I love your videos that are more science lesson then how to take of this animal that you shouldn't keep as a pet because it's hard to care for. Please more do more hidden science lesson videos!!!

I just love Living Planet Aquarium. Do you think you could do a feature on mantis shrimp? They've been my dream pet for years.

Not sure if he's acting or genuinely excited about moon jellies, but either way it definitely made this video enjoyable. Otherwise, as much as I love jellyfish, he lost me as "high maintenance."

The fun part is jellyfish are more active than most reptiles

@blondbraid7986 2 жыл бұрын

They look just like the jellyfish that I've seen getting washed ashore in southern Sweden every summer, though in Swedish they're called "ear jellyfish" due to their clover-like bits in the center reminding people of ears somehow.

These are lovely, I live by the Atlantic so I just go see their huge blooms in the wild during the late summer. Unfortunately they tend to beach a lot too.

Interesting that they're that sensitive in captivity, but in the wild they clog up estuaries in New England every summer.

I remember when I was holidaying on the west coast of Scotland. We would go out rowing through swarms of moon jellies and could reach out and touch them from the boat.

I would argue for "tetraradial" over "quadraradial." In chemical nomenclature we use "tetra-" for four (di for 2, tri for 3, penta for 5, etc.). Fantastic, beautifully shot video as always!

@nhann.3141 2 жыл бұрын

it could be either, biradial and bilateral symmetry in animals would be related words that use Latin and not Greek (di) prefixes, while pentaradial is Greek. quadriradial and tetraradial are just not words that people use so it's not standardized

I think the fake jellyfish lamp might be the right pet cnidarian for me! I enjoy all of the inverts/other non-reptile videos, but I'd love to see a video on maybe some of the other Australian pythons, like maybe Green Tree pythons and Scrubbies. And then, there's one giant python you haven't covered yet - African rock pythons! I'm just obsessed with pythons, if you haven't noticed.
