what do yall think of upside down jellyfish

[ckwatson]

I have a friend that wants to keep jellyfish and upside down is seem to be the easiest to keep

They are nice in a small tank, but often get caught in the overflows. For very simple creatures, they are interesting. We had two, one of which NEVER got caught in the overflow after one time. It is hard to think that their neural network could learn, but it was pretty odd.

If she decides to try her hand at it I will put up a thread. Right now I cant seem to find any info on how to set up the tank and what the water parameters should be. She has a 24 gallon bio cube. It seems like right now the hardest part will be getting the flow in the tank right. Dont really want to use a power head, I would think it would suck up the jelly. Has any one put a spray bar in a bio cube?

you can use a sponge if she can clean it out all the time.

I think the easiest to keep jellyfishes can be found here:

Low flow, no air bubbles, no sharp objects. Upsidedown jellies are pretty easy, but other ones are harder and need Kreisel systems or something similar to keep their food (and themselves) in suspension.
