I got stung by a Jellyfish fish in Australia too once.. I thought I was going to die.. Unfortunately you still have the pleasure of me commenting on this video today.
i've always wanted jellyfishes and a while ago i'd been doing all the petshops in town to find a place to order them from and me and my roomie walk in a fish section and oh my god! there is one here! i'm so excited i rush to the cashier to ask her about the jellyfish and she was like "ma'am" it's a plastic toy." i mean... it would have kind of been the same thing.
if you still want a jellyfish i suggest buying the upside down jellyfish. They require minimum feeding because like corals they are photosynthetic. You also dont need a special tank for them but you cant keep anything in that aquarium except upside down jellies cuz they have remote controlled stingers and will sting everything around them.
Um, speaking as a woman, if you're dating people who are fascinated by imprisoned creatures held captive in a chunk of plastic, you are not fishing in the upper levels of the gene pool. I think you're video does an excellent job of letting people know there are easier and cheaper ways to attract the simple-minded. I am impressed by the effort you put in and your analysis. Good job!
@@PrestigeReef I particularly loved the plastic bags at the end that were tied to look like jellyfish. he's right though, almost the same exact effect. 🤣
“Despite our beef, I’m going to remain as unbiased as possible... they are the world’s most ungrateful pet... a floating plastic bag or a bottle of Bud is basically the same without all the hassle.” Way to remain unbiased dude! You had me at beef! 🤣 I enjoyed this vid on so many levels! Thank you.🙏🏾
i think he will give me a lot back , first its an amazing thing to look at , second they give the room a relaxing ambience , third makes you wonder about the science behind their simple body, forth watching a dangerous creature moves so elegantly and in that smooth way is just incredible plastic bags pfff🙄😒😔
I’ve never been stung by jellyfish but once I went to Dorset with a friend and at the time, there was a problem with bluebottle jellyfish in the sea and getting stranded on beaches. We were very careful where we stepped when fossil hunting...
Thank you for educating me!!! I was going to remodel my living room with 6' bean bags, LAVA LAMPS, paper lanterns, and Jelly Fish. It's a cool idea, but did NOT know how much work they take. Your story is incredible! I'll stick to my LAVA LAMPS! Thank you....
Out of the thousands of videos I've watched on RU-vid I've never laughed so hard when he said you can get a similar effect from plastic bags I'm 100% getting a jelly fish!
I'm glad you've managed to keep a sense of humor about your injury, that sounds like a really rough day for sure. Glad you recovered and thanks for the info. ✊ #SolidarityFist
U don’t just go to the sea and pick a jellyfish u like or see, here’s a tip:only pet moon jellyfishes or mushroom cap jellyfishes they r completely harmless and also if u want someone to keep u company but don’t want to spend much time with it just keep these creatures bc they don’t really have a brain so they won’t need people to keep petting them and playing with them 😉
Great video, hopefully you can learn to forgive the jellyfish with time! A couple of tips about keeping jellyfish that may be useful to everyone: when using dry jellyfish foods, make sure they are fully hydrated before feeding! We recommend letting the food sit in a cup of tank water for 5 minutes before feeding. Also with jellyfish foods: dry foods are super potent. Like serious jellyfish steroids. To prevent water fouling and overfeeding, feed them just a little each day. It takes roughly a fifth of the dry food to feed them compared to live brine shrimp. A lot of people make the mistake of over feeding their jellyfish. Keep the videos coming!
Do I want one as a pet? *No* : I'm actually terrified of the demonic plastic bags. I'm honestly just curious about them despite the fear they instill into me. -Also fun fact the boxjellyfish (all of them) have eyes. They can see.-
You're not suppose to pee on your Jellyfish sting, the chemical reaction could actually make it worse by making a chemical reaction telling the poison to release further.
Yes. I do want one, I always have. I always will want one. I don't care if they sting. Tbh though I only want moon jellies or comb jellies. When I was a little girl and moved to the USA from Poland, I was swimming in the ocean in Florida with thousands of comb jellies and it was the most amazing experience in my life. They fill me with a profound sense of peace and joy. I'm grateful for these creatures.
Just subscribed. Hello from Israel. I'm a reefer-wannabe. Have had freshwater all my life. I'm in the research phase learning all I can. Love your videos. You really come up with some wonderful zingers! Laughed outloud with the bag comment and then took the trouble to video them. Too much! Love it.
@@PrestigeReef I have to ask you one question does the moon jellyfish have 8 rhopalia and each of these rhopalia has two eyes is that true cause I looked up in Google and this is what it said
This is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. With so many RU-vid longplay videos of jellyfish, I think I'll stick to using my TV as my "aquarium." An HD camera beats the hell out of maintenance every time.
I can't even tell if jellyfish are really alive, and that freaks me out. At least at the beach you can imagine what a shark is thinking, and not provoke it so it swims around, but jellyfish are bloody everywhere, they are pretty transparent so you can't see them, and they have no brain to tell them to swim around us.
I had a very large tank in my basement in london, which was a bit of a sin bin for old sea water, and pieces of collected rock which were in the process of decision making. there was no air pump or filter and it was generally clear. On one occasion I noticed one of the rocks had scyphistoma attatched and soon there were ephyra in the water. there was plenty of food available in such a large volume of water and very soon there were little moon jellyfish pulsing around. As you say facinating for a while, but I found the novelty run out of steam very quickly.
I once got stuck diving into a bloom of jellyfish in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. That was a bad time - luckily the stings were not life threatening. I love Jelly fish tanks but I hate Jellyfish
I just wanted to say I love your videos so much and yet again this video did not disappoint! I have recently subscribed after watching many of your amazing fish and wildlife videos. I recently subscribed to your channel because I had been watching your fish videos for a while a truely loved them and they always make my day. I hope to be lucky enough to obtain a saltwater aquarium but until then I will keep loving and researching through this channel. Keep up the great job and I wish you the best in 2020.
It's weird how an invasive species that dominates habitats can be so sensitive in captivity. Jellyfish seem to capture the worst of all worlds, aside from looking cooler than plastic bags.
Plastic bags are the perfect pet,they don’t need feeding or cleaning or vet bills,and they are fascinating to watch both on land and in water,on land you should tie a king string to them so they don’t fly off.
I just think that they are not great pets for most people. Especially the point that they don't give you anything back. They just look cool and if you are a fanatic for aquatic animals, have experience with aquariums, like animals just to look at and are responsible enough to take proper care, then this might work. I would like jellyfish tbh and I would not mind the care. But I am also more interested in the weirder animals and the only common pets that I like are cats and even them I don't own.
I don't have to pay for these guys since there's about a million. Rumor has it that someone released some moons as a decoration for his backyard, and they got away. Now there's so much, that I see one or two every 5 minutes.
i have a pet sea anemone and i keep it in a jar... it has a micro 460nm actinic blue lightning and a decent water flow i check the salinity every day because the water is not stable... but its worth it
I know it's gonna be a one sided love but having this for atleast a year for my life is just... Will make my life complete.. will it kill me in many ways like physically and financially Yes but do i still want it? Yes
0:50 I think that shouldn't be allowed, you don't think clearly when you're drugged and in this case dont feel pain either, so the hospital should determine if it really is safe for the patient to sign out. Normally I think the patient should get to make their own choices, of course with guidance from the doctor but they have to be sober or close to at least. But interesting video otherwise. I dont have any aquarium but would like to keep jellyfish one day because they're pretty (not sure if I ever will). But it sounds more complicated than I first expected
Ive always wanted a jellyfish tank. Been doing lots of research and I wont be getting jellies anytime soon since I lack the space to begin caring for them. But the fact they're "ungrateful" 😂 is just like a tarantula...theyre never happy to see you... except with them if you touch their home they will probably try to attack you 😂
I've been looking into keeping JF for a week or so. I'm baffled by the size of the tanks that shops are offering with their kits. Space wise do they not need much? I understand the need high rather than width but I'm still on the fence if I want them. I mean if love them however I can't afford upwards of £1000 for the massive tanks 🤣
