can you keep a box jellyfish as a pet?

i saw 7 pounds today at my girlfriends house and he had a box jellyfish, and though it seems a little impractical, it was really beautiful, and if its not a ton of money i'd like to get one as a pet myself. can someone tell me where i can get a jellyfish as a pet?

  • you would need a HUGE tank.You would have to spend $1000 on the tank at the very least.You would also need a filter heater and protein skimmer and tons of chemistry adjusters and marine salt.

    It would cost HEAPS to set up a tank,buy the jelly fish and take care of it.

    It would be REALLY hard to care for it too.Especially to feed it.

  • it might sting you. lol i read ur question and i was like wo box jellyfish, cos were doing first aid in HPE and im supposed to be doing homework but im not. so if you get stung then i know how to sort it out

  • I wouldn't recommend it as they are poisonous (dangerous to cuddle!) and live only a few months anyway. There are better pet choices I think.
