They are all stunning! What camera are you shooting them with, if you don't mind me asking?

nice jellyfish i would like to keep one as a pet but that would be cruel because some grow really big but there stunning things its amazing how long there tentacales can grow

 

[Straydum]

amazing! i've always wondered is it possible to keep jellyfishes in a home-based aquarium. but then again they look better at aquariums like these

 

[SJ2K]

Pritty sure there not suitable for home aquaria, after speaking to Andi about it he pointed out a major flaw, jellies ride the current and in home aquaria that generally just leads straight into filters

I'm pretty sure that they make special aquariums for jellies. They are cylindrical and the current goes round and round, so they don't get stuck in any corners. Too bad I don't remember where I saw one for sale...

Hi,

Sorry about the delay in my reply. The camera I have is a Fuji Finpix S7000, its fully manual but is not an SLR and the best 500 euro I have ever spent. One day when I have a bit more cash to throw around I would like to get my paws on a Nixon DSLR or similar, but for the time being I will make do with the point and shoot style camera.

Couple more snaps

Hungry Mouths in the Kelp Forest
