Isn’t that like a lot of creatures on this planet...

Like many out there, the only difference is the jellyfish animal is better ...

​@Flippy _ How do you measure self-awareness? Does such a thing even exist? To be honest, it seems little more than a buzz-word. Jellyfish have an entirely different nervous systems from us - they have a nerve net of neurons (these are not evenly dispresed in the jellyfish, but rather have some degree of neuronal condensation). So if you count plants as being self-aware, I don't see a reason to suggest jellyfish have less.

Garry They do have consciousness and are self aware, why do you think they stay away from dangers and even eat there type of food?

justsomeawesome dude it’s fully autonomous, they don’t know that they are doing it, what happens is their nervous system reacts to certain stimuli causeing specific reactions in it body

If you do you know where to find us!

I Sculpt I thought it was jerky

I Sculpt me too lol

same lol

lol

I Sculpt WHAT ?

Ask Mr. Krabs

TheBBallEnthusiast cuz its the dreammmmmmmm

TheBBallEnthusiast Hhahahahah oh god have my like X'D

What does moon jelly taste like?

probably the moon

Boop.

@@CosmicErrata zap

But there not cute to keep

That's exactly what thought!

I thought the exact same thing.

Aidan Wilkinson FOR REAL

Aidan Wilkinson lmaoooooooo

Ikr

Aidan Wilkinson i didnt even realise it had music until now

Thank you! They're our squishy little pals.

@@SunsetMarineLabs Can you keep these in a normal saltwater tank? Also would fishtank decor hurt these guys?

Yeah but they are extremely difficult to take care of

lol they not they die in may

lol

No sorry

Yep!

I mean their moon fish of course they came from the moon

ReeeEEEE

Brenton, you can have a pet jellyfish, or two, or three!! Check us out @ www.sunsetmarinelab.com and join our jellyfish family!

But they're cute.Isn't that all that matters?

ThaumcraftBR To be fair, they're essentially young children.

ThaumcraftBR No, no, I was summing up our two comments.

ZobmieRules Oh, I see.

ThaumcraftBR lol @ cute.i think they are beautiful, but i don't see the cute factor.

You are correct that the water does need to have a specific flow or current in order to keep jellyfish happy; however, this can be achieved in what's called a "modified tumbler box" style jellyfish tank. The Eon Jellyfish Systems are modified tumbler box style jellyfish tanks. The Eon systems have 2 built-in spray bars that create a perfect flow for the jellies. We use these same tanks to breed our moon jellyfish from 1/2" diameter and up! They are perfect for jellies. You can see from our videos how easily the jellies move throughout the tank, feed appropriately and "bell", or swim naturally.

I’m not an expert but just leave them there...

culz I've heard they do but then done, they just rest!

+Jen Broccoli! dude your photo icon is creepy

Adult brine shrimp are typically too big for juvenile jellies, as well as the fact that adult brine shrimp do not have all the fatty acids that juvenile jellies need to grow properly. The small jellies will try to eat them and that is ok, but try and get some enriched baby brine shrimp instead. To answer your second question, jellyfish are passive eaters and love to eat! There does become a point; however, when all of their tentacles and stomachs and stinging cells become saturated with food and they can no longer hold on to any more. So, in that sense, they do stop eating. Please note: You do not want to compromise the health of your jellyfish by degrading your water quality and that is what will happen when you overfeed.

@@SunsetMarineLabs I picked up some baby brines. Thanks! I check the water daily and it’s perfect, especially the ph. I added a air bubbler, but away from the main tank so bubbles never come near the jellies. I also have a poly filter sponge. They seem to be thriving, today is exactly 1 week of having them. Bells look to be in good shape.

Tank also has bio balls, and I added the live bacteria 2 weeks prior to adding the jellies

yeah i will get jelly from sea and i will have pet jelly

+Minecraft Party with DominikFras and pinguZDA Selfish Ideas. Reconsider that. Adopt a dog, he may appreciate it more.

Sebastian mejia or.. why not both?

Moe Rosett Apparently some famous guy had a friend who owned an Octopus he'd babysit for the summer its amazing what animals people dare try to take into their homes lol

+bjorn joseph Moon jellyfish can withstand temperatures from 60-80*F. So, if you keep your house maintains a room temperature of 72*F, then you will not need a chiller. However, if your house experiences higher temperatures in the summer, then you might want to consider a chiller to keep the jellies cool when that time comes.

+Sebastian mejia Do you mean they don't deserve a life like that, as in to say they deserve better? I think they do, the way these animals are treated puts me off them as pets.

Yeah! Mistake. But you got my point. Some day i will take some humans in a cage for my living room..... you know... cause they look cool!

Sebastian mejia Ye I think thats a nice idea and feed them the same shit day after day. You should read War Of The Worlds, its pretty much about humans like that, very well written too.

+michaelb3197 At least im not the only one thinking this. Thanks. I'll check it out!

Why's that? Are you a vegan or? Arent you mistaking something? They're not like other animals like cats, dogs, cows...etc because they cant feel emotion (like plants). Well, not quite because they're very happy as long as they get nutrition and can move which is why most jellyfish tanks have feature that allows these beautiful beings to move indefinitely. To them, it isnt a prison, or captivity but rather, a paradise.

I think a small one takes up 1 gallon, a medium takes two and a large takes up around 4. I have an 8 gallon jelly tank with two mediums and a large.

THE BABIES

Moon jellies typically live about 1 year, but the polyps they come from can potentially live for decades!

Not even slightly. The extent of their neurological system is essentially a ring of nerves around the bell which tell it to contract every so often.

Irving Kardashian Doge no plants or gravel because they will crash into it

Wilawan Pitlertchan he caught five nihilegos.

@@eternallegacy89 Everyone know that I'm unique and precious.

Jhenn Aqui these live for like 9 months to a year.

They live an average of six months in the wild.

+Austin Came from him too! lol

Same lol! that man sold me on getting a jellyfish tAnk lol

+Betta Fish Overfeeding will impact your water quality more than harm the jellyfish directly. Jellyfish are passive feeders and if there is food in the water, they love it. They just can't tolerate the decrease in water quality that overfeeding can create. So, it all depends on what type of jellyfish tank and life support system you have in place to deal with the additional food in the system. Which jellyfish tank do you have? What type of filtration does it have?

No, brine shrimp are the best option or them right now

No, they cannot harm you.

they are moon jellies

It is a special tank for jellyfish called a "modified tumbler box", or Eon Jellyfish System. You can see that there is an internal current inside the tank making the water rotate in a circle. This is necessary to keep jellyfish suspended in the water as it does in traditional plankton kreisel tanks. This is a design that has been used throughout the jellyfish world since the mid-1990's. We also use these tanks to breed and grow up our jellyfish. It's an awesome tank! And, gives you 3-sided viewing! It's the best!

MoonJellyfish.com Thanks! I was just curious because most jelly tanks I've seen have all been circular with no sharp corners.
