Aquarium with jellyfish is a fascinating sight. Jelly-shaped ghostly forms and refined movements are able to enchant and reassure. But the translucent creatures are fragile and require delicate handling.
The content of jellyfish in a specially equipped aquarium will not cause much trouble. Both round and rectangular varieties are made of high-quality acrylic. The filtration system maintains water quality at the proper level for jellyfish development and is hidden in the outer contour of the structure. Water passes through a sponge and a porous filler, where all harmful impurities settle. With the help of the remote control, you can change the color of the LED lighting so that the observer has a feeling that he is in a fantastic world, similar to a pleasant dream.
What do you need to know about jellyfish?
No matter how well the high-tech housing has been thought out, aquariums with live jellyfish need adequate care. In a natural way there are questions:
- What do jellyfish eat in an aquarium? Plankton, which is food in natural conditions, is processed to a powdered state and sold at pet stores. As an additive you can regulate pets with shrimps.
- How often is the feeding done? Once or twice a day.
- How to care? Clean the aquarium once a week with the replacement of 10% water. Every six months, the filter sponge is washed.
- What is the duration of life? Depends on the specific species. On average, from six months to a year, but individual species can survive for many years.
- What do jellyfish feel? They do not have a central nervous system and a brain. From the philistine point of view, there is more similarity with plants than with fish. If the water quality is favorable and there are no sharp edges, which can be injured, the jellyfish will not feel that it is not in the natural environment.
