Jellyfish, without any doubt, are one of the most enigmatic creatures in the ocean. Although they have been noticed thousands of years ago, it was not long ago when we hardly knew anything about them. Perhaps, people who are above 25-30 years old remember that jellyfish could not been seen very often: actually, only the best aquariums used to have this "strange creature" living in it.
Do you wonder what the reason is? Of course, the jellyfish did not evolve in a way so as to be able to live in aquariums! It would be an extremely strange direction of evolution and even if it could happen, it would take like several millions of years. So, evolution is definitely not the reason! But what is it then? Actually, the reason why we can already look after jellyfish and even buy them as a pet is the better knowledge we have about these creatures.
Once again, we are going to mention the fact that only a few decades ago (let's say 50 years), we did not know anything about the jellyfish. We knew neither what they ate nor how they copulate. We did not even know what their healthy environment is! Fortunately, all these are facts which we are familiar with at present. That is why we can easily make our aquarium a good place for a jellyfish (or more) depending on the aquarium's size.
Yes, you read it right: pets! It used to be the snakes some time ago and now it is the jellyfish. The surveys show that the number of people purchasing jellyfish as pets is increasing steadily! Perhaps, it is a fad...or not! Only the time will show us. But whatever it is, it seems like the jellyfish will soon become an obsession for many people.
So, if you love experiments, you definitely should try looking after a jellyfish. It will be totally new to you, respectively totally interesting! But if you are a "thinker", you'd probably like to think everything through before having made such an "important decision". Basically, there is nothing you should think through or worry about. Looking after jellyfish is cheap, easy and it is not time-consuming whatsoever. All you need to do is feed your new pets regularly and make sure that the aquarium is working properly so that the water's temperature and levels of oxygen are exactly as much as they are supposed to be.
