o.o That is so pretty. But I do not know any jellyfish needs. xD The tank looks a bit small, but it did win some fancy award and it sounds like an award that people who just mess around (like people who make those awful tiny betta bowls. >.>) don't receive. They're so floaty~

I feel like jelly's probably don't need as much space since they don't have brains XD So they can't be sad due to lack of space X3

Those are a scam.
You just end up with an extremely expensive tank that slowly poisons any jellyfish to death in their own waste and/or beats them to death against the substrate. Just looked at the website and the site also is trying to sell a ton of accessories that are completely unneeded and tries to shoehorn other animals into this 6 gallon bowl.

could you link me to an article or some source of non-opinionated information that states this?

I dont mean to argue, but the videos of how to set up the tank are precise and it does say that you are meant to do 25 percent water change a week besides the ones after the 2-day and 5-day mark... The top opens and the air-flow/ circulation tube can be controlled and there is a block thing on the end. it also explains that if the jellyfish are getting stuck in the substrate or anything to immediately change where the airflow is going. It also gives instructions so you don't get air bubbles underneath the jellyfish. Also the only critters they reccommend are a certain type of saltwater hermit crab and a 1 inch algae cleaning snail. (which it says on their ordering page.)

Better yet, i should just link the video.

There are other videos too that explain stuff better than i can on here.

Anyone else have an opinion?

its not really an opinion, its just that tons of marine animals can't be kept in captivity period, or without crazy equipment not really feasable for the general public to use. (thats why you never see squid in captivity, among other things)

My source is basically everything out there on jellyfish and aquarium keeping in general. Literally look at any website about those tanks that aren't the ones actually trying to sell them, or anything on fish keeping at all.
Most of the jelly tanks don't even have filtration. Everyone knows its bad to keep goldfish and stuff in a bowl, but doing it with jellies is a million times worse because they need absolutely pristine water to survive.
That, and you can't really keep some jellies in captivity for whatever reason. They just don't survive. Even public aquariums are constantly replacing the ones they have. Moon jellies do okay, but you need to dump a ton of money into a proper setup to do it.
To even -attempt- to keep jellies in captivity properly you need insanely expensive setups that have filtration, and some way to keep the jellies from hitting substrate/walls/filration ever. You also absolutely cannot keep them in with other animals, especially not crabs. (...this actually makes me wonder how anyone ships them without them getting mangled in the process)

Heres a link to a jelly tank that you'd actually have a chance at keeping one alive in for a decent amount of time.

All that said, I don't have a moral problem with people doing anything with jellies seeing as they don't have brains and etc, (oh god don't get me started on whale sharks in captivity) I just am trying to make people aware of this because it just ends up being a big waste of money full of dead animals.
