Just wandering if anyone had any succes in keeping freshwater jellyfish. Thought it would be cool to have if it could be done. What size tank, what would you feed it, were could you get one, how do they breed, any info?

Well I looked around and freshwater jelly fish arent too common so I dont even know if you would be able to find them. I grew up on the east coast and had many of stings from jellys and my advice is stay away from them.

for 1: i think that they would be very hard to care for
2: they can sting you
3: you probably need a liscene to have one
