Ocean drifters: Are you interested in ever keeping a Jellyfish?

I love jellyfish and would love to keep them but I’m not committed to the specialty tanks, cost, and care to actually do it. I love to watch them though

Once apon a time I had 3 they were really cool moon jellies

I kept jellies before and would again. They don't live all that long though compared to our other marine life, so that needs to be on the radar for anyone planning to keep them.

if it wasn't said earlier there are a handful of jelly sellers out there. a specialized tank that not much else would get used for at a high price is tough. $600 tank plus $50 a jelly? And they need lowered temp for this unit. Maybe if they incorporated a tiny chiller into the aquarium for that price instead of relying on your own house AC to cool it. I think this would be a great sleep aid for a kids night light.

forgot to mention the short cycle like an octopus. at least the octopus you still have a usable tank for fish. BTW what does the tank for an octopus require cleaning wise after one dies? is it just water change out or do you need to disinfect all the rocks and gravel as well? I know it's a big change out if it inks; is it just that for the toxicity?
