In the eyes of many people, jellyfish are a mysterious and beautiful sea creature. They float and sway gracefully in the sea, giving a dreamlike visual treat. However, for many people, bringing jellyfish home to raise can be a challenge. Especially in the absence of seawater, how to successfully raise jellyfish?This article will reveal the methods and precautions for raising jellyfish in a sea-free environment.
First of all, we need to understand the basic living needs of jellyfish. In the wild, jellyfish live mainly in the ocean and feed on plankton. To simulate this environment, we can use artificially formulated seawater. Before adding the jellyfish tank, the seawater needs to be precipitated for about 24 hours and an appropriate amount of artificial sea salt is added. This ensures the stability and suitability of the water quality.
Secondly, we need to provide the jellyfish with the right water temperature. Jellyfish are suitable for survival in water temperatures between 15 and 30 degrees Celsius, with an optimal temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. Therefore, when raising jellyfish, we need to closely monitor the water temperature and make sure that it is within the right range. In addition, we also need to avoid direct sunlight and do not place the jellyfish tank directly above the heater to avoid damage to the jellyfish due to excessive water temperature.
Third, feeding is another important part of jellyfish conservation. Jellyfish need to be fed once a day from the next day. At feeding time, we need to turn off the pump so that the jellyfish can feed freely. After feeding, we need to clean up the leftover food in time to avoid water quality spoilage. This keeps the water clean and stable, which contributes to the healthy growth of jellyfish.
Fourth, regular water quality changes are also key to raising jellyfish. The jellyfish need to be changed once a week. Only one-tenth of the total amount of water should be replaced at a time, and the new water and salinity should be the same as the raw water. This keeps the water quality stable, which is conducive to the growth and reproduction of jellyfish.
Finally, we need to pay attention to some details in the feeding process. For example, we need to make sure that the jellyfish tank is the right size so that the jellyfish have enough space to move. In addition, we also need to regularly observe the growth status and behavior of jellyfish in order to detect and solve possible problems in time.
