My wife wants a jellyfish aquarium in the spare bedroom. They look amazing, but I dont want to take on another high-maintenance endeavor.
 
The only tip I have is to suggest getting a dog or cat to her... I think it'll be more work than it's worth.
 
Thanks for the links. Holy smokes! Constant plankton feeding, cold water...I think I'll be getting my wife a betta bowl.

1+ Jellyfish tanks are out of control hard to maintain....think a reef times 10.....but at least you dont need a real light on it.

Yeah I think the novelty factor would wear off really quick considering the number of water changes I'd be doing to keep the nutrients down!

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
