Amakusa jellyfish, also known as Malayan sand jellyfish, is deeply loved by the majority of aquarium lovers because of its pure and elegant posture and graceful temperament. Their bodies are translucent, flattened, and between 60 and 100 mm in diameter, with large spiny verrucous processes on the outer part of the umbrella. There are many folds on both sides of the mouth and wrist, and 32 radiating pouches radiate from the round ** gastric cavity, 16 of which extend to connect to the sensory organs and the other 16 to the tentacles. The four inter-spoke gonads are horseshoe-shaped, and about 24 30 finger-like protrusions are arranged on the outside of each inferior genital hole, protruding from the outside of the umbrella. When it lives, the umbrella part is light purple, the upper umbrella part is covered with many small brown spots, and the gonads are russet. When swimming in the water, it is like dragging a large net, and when it touches food, it will quickly curl up, hugging the food and sending it to the mouth and wrist.
However, Amakusa jellyfish are not easy aquatic creatures to keep. The Amakusa jellyfish in the natural sea is very toxic and can paralyze even small fish. However, the Amakusa in the aquarium is weakly toxic and only slightly irritates the human body**. When fully extended, the tentacles are very long and beautiful, making them extremely ornamental. As a result, they are usually only found in public aquariums.
So, how should we properly raise Amakusa jellyfish at home?Here is some important information about Amakusa jellyfish breeding.
First, we need to understand the environmental needs of the Amakusa jellyfish. Amakusa jellyfish need to have a nitrate content of 25 ppm and a pH of 8-83 environments to survive. The suitable water temperature is 21-26 and the specific gravity is 1020-1026。In addition, because Amakusa jellyfish is slightly more difficult to raise, a large jellyfish tank is required to raise it, so that the beauty of the slender tentacles of Amakusa jellyfish can be fully displayed.
Secondly, the diet of Amakusa jellyfish is mainly plankton and other jellyfish and even small fish. Under artificial breeding conditions, we can feed on shrimp, jellyfish and jellyfish such as sea moon and red moon.
Finally, we need to understand the care methods of Amakusa jellyfish. The living environment of Amakusa jellyfish needs to be kept clean to avoid the growth of bacteria and algae. At the same time, we need to regularly check the living conditions of Amakusa jellyfish, and if we find any abnormalities, such as darkening of color, shrinking tentacles, etc., we should take immediate measures to deal with them.
