Sea nettle chrysaora quinquecirrha jellyfish

Question

I went to the zoo today and saw chrysaora quinquecirrha jellyfish.

I would like to own some but don't know how?

could someone tell me?

Answer 1

Most jellies are very difficult to keep- even for expert fish keepers. Your best bet would be to go to your local pet store and see if they know if you can buy them legally, and what it takes. If they don't know, try another store or online. The problem is that a lot of jellies aren't legal to own due to their sting and/or availability.

Jellyfish in general, whether salt or fresh water, are so difficult because they are very delicate- especially when it comes to water content and what else you have in the tank. You're going to need someone to talk to you about it face to face.

Good luck
