Babies!!!

I have a run-down jellyfish tank that had a few moons die it it and they left some poylps. Just when I thought the poylps were never going to make baby jellyfish I saw one little lone ephyrae swimming around. They are moon jellyfish ones. After a little search, I found about 19 of them. I though together a little tank for them and they are doing pretty good. They are very active, and very tuff guys too to survive the conditions in the old jellyfish tank. Well they did it, and they are in a nice clean tank now it good hands! I've never had to much luck with newborn jellies, but I'm wishing myself luck!

Updates, Updates!

Even more things have been going on with my jelly keeping recently. Here is the news:

 Upside Down Jellies

I ended up getting my 10 upside downs, and they are GREAT. They are doing great, but for some reason not as great for the past few days. I'm on the case, and what I'm seeing so far is that my heater broke and the water temp went down to a freezing 62 degrees, not a ideal tropical temp which could bring stress to the jellies since they are tropical. The company I bought the heater from sent me a new one, so I'm just going to try to keep them as warm as I can without the heater. The lighting is working out very well, but to make it even brighter I might add one more.

                                Californian ThinkJellyfish Moon Jellies

I got myself 4 moon jellies and a ThinkJellyfish JellyHome Moon Jellyfish Tank. These little guys are doing fantastic. However I can't call them little guys. These guys are HUGE and very healthy. The tank is working out very well for them, and the jellies are fairly active, but fully active at night. I have a RGB color changing bulb from ThinkJellyfish as well installed in there and it really brings out the beauty of this tank even more. The jellies are always suspended in the tank, which is nice. They never touch the bottom unless they swim into it actively. Video of these guys coming soon!

Well that is pretty much it! More updates coming next week hopefully along with some pictures and videos.
