amphipod Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Can they be kept in nano tanks safely? I see THOUSANDS at the campground I'm staying at. Link to comment
seabass Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 What would you feed a comb jellyfish in captivity? Only advanced aquarists should attempt it. Normal flow and filtration would destroy them. You'd want a special tank for it like a Kreisel tank (or Jelliquarium). You might even construct something along these lines: http://raisingpetjellyfish.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-easy-diy-jellyfish-kreisel-tank.html They are particularly sensitive animals and can eat ten times their weight in food each day. This would primarily consist of zooplankton (especially oyster eggs and larvae, but also young fish and copepods).

Dr.Brain Coral Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Seabass are you sure they cant be in a regular tank? They can swim around alot better than a Jellyfish. Amphipod I had been interested in getting some of these for a while earlier in the year, and I found your best bet would be with Sea Walnuts (Mnemiopsis leidyi). The problem I had with these is the same as Seabass said, they eat MASSIVE quantities of live food. I dont think they will eat anything other than live food Link to comment

amphipod Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 I seen a YouTube video of a comb jellyfish aquarium https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&ei=dSugVMSECpOTyAT-l4CYAw&url=http://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DrS8eXSFdsRg&ved=0CBwQtwIwAA&usg=AFQjCNGHPHZENf1pbQxleW21aLhFTC3PHA They also will probably die in transit also, I guess forget them as pets. Its funny when I swam in the water, they sometimes ran into you and it feels like being hit by jello. Link to comment
amphipod Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 I never collected any, but I saved a ton from fisherman's nets on a pier. Also saved a needlefish. Link to comment
