My pet jellyfish finally arrived! I also started messing around with a new aquascape in my WIO shallow aquarium that I picked up from Aquarium Gardens. To make space for these new projects I had to build a new fish rack... this is only temporary until my fish garage is finished!

So cool. There’s a show called “Tanked” in America and years back they built a huge jellyfish tank for “Spencer’s gifts” . Was designed like a lava lamp. Lots of different colored lights and the jellyfish being the “lava” as the flow pushed them gently around. Wicked cool. I must have jellyfish someday! Didn’t know it was possible to do at home. Love it!!

@ladybirdforest 2 ай бұрын

So cool! I didn't even know you could keep jellies as pets. They're always my favourite bit of the aquarium!!! r.e. the dwarf umbrella growing on lava stone, it's called semi-hydroponics. The lava rock wicks up water to keep the roots moist without it being fully submerged. Mostly it's done in leca or gravel, any slightly porous medium that will wick up water from below, where the roots can spread through the substrate but you can still re-pot like you would any other plant. You can grow almost anything you can hydroponically in semi-hydroponics, like the ficus trees and peace lilies you've used before. Ferns and moss are very popular for that style of growing as they're epiphytes, but anything with roots will eventually fix itself to the rock.
