Why get a
lava-lamp when you can have a jellyfish tank? Florida company Jellyfish
Art, who’s been selling jellyfish aquariums since 2011, has just
concluded a successful kickstarter for a 3rd-generation, LED, tank. 330
USD will get you a tank that you set up yourself, with the jellyfish
following in the mail the next day.
Some people were concerned if there’s
enough space for the jellyfish. As harsh as it sounds, jellyfish don’t
have a traditional central nervous system, and are probably not aware
whether they’re in an ocean or in a fish tank.
“If they get close to a filtration
intake in a regular fish tank, they would get sucked in and badly
mangled,” the team explained to Huffington Post. “They’re made up of
over 90% water so they’re very delicate. The water flow in the tank is
designed to have a very gentle outflow spread out over a large surface
area…. Our design is the first commercially available cylindrical
design.”
