Although pet jellyfish are beautiful, they are difficult to raise. How to raise them?

Jellyfish are poisonous marine creatures, a fact that will surely surprise jellyfish fans who are deceived by their simple appearance.

The toxicity of the moon jellyfish is much less than that of other dangerous jellyfish (such as the box jellyfish).

However, if people with sensitive constitutions accidentally touch a jellyfish, they may still experience itching and redness due to contact with the stinging cells on the jellyfish.

You can't keep jellyfish alive under normal conditions. Jellyfish need a large space and fresh seawater, so water supply is a problem. Don't think that adding salt to tap water can replace seawater, as that will only make them die faster.

Another problem is that jellyfish feed on mayflies that filter out the sea, so the food source of jellyfish is also a problem.

Therefore, seawater is necessary for breeding. The water should be changed every week or so to prevent dirt and microorganisms from blocking the jellyfish and fish from receiving energy and affecting their movement speed. Be careful not to touch the jellyfish when changing the water. Don't rush when adding water, but be slow.

What do jellyfish eat and how to keep them alive

Jellyfish are carnivorous, feeding on plankton, small crustaceans, many species and even small fish.

Due to the mechanical and chemical stimulation of food, hydras extend their tentacles and release stinging threads to entangle, paralyze, and poison the captured objects, and then put the food into their mouths. Once they encounter prey, they will never let it go easily.

Jellyfish have high requirements for food, and plankton such as insects and brine shrimp (please refer to other experience for the cultivation of brine shrimp) are their favorites. When the digestive organs and mouths in the wings of jellyfish turn orange, it means that the jellyfish is full. The number of feedings and the amount should be controlled well, and it is not advisable to feed too much, because it will easily deteriorate the water quality.
