Cassiopea Xamachana

[banana222111]

I have Cassiopea Xamachana for a school experiment but I cannot purchase a rectangular tank. I put aquarium sealant in the corner to prevent them from getting hurt is this enough? Also I put rocks in the tank should I take them out?

I’ll move this to the main forum since it’s not an experiment.

upside down jellyfish prefer a flat sandy bottom. they do fine in a rectangular tank. Typically one of at least 20 gallons (long) is best suited. They are photosynthetic and also consume zoo plankton. enriched baby brine shrimp, copepods, and rotifers are great food sources for them. It may even be possible to feed them some frozen food choices. I would remove the rocks.

Just to add to the above - these really aren't like most jellyfish; they don't drift in the current, they just plant on the bottom and don't really move much. Lighting is more important for these than tank shape is.
