Do you know the TV drama "Till the Jellyfish Sleeps"? It is a situation comedy in which Hiromi Nagasaku and Ogata Issei play a married couple, and in the room where they live, they keep jellyfish, and the scene in which Hiromi Nagasaku, who plays the wife, feeds them with a dropper appeared almost every episode.

Ever since I saw that sitcom, it has been my dream to have a jellyfish. And the Desktop Jellyfish Tank is about to make that dream come true. It is a keeping kit that comes with everything you need to keep jellyfish.


Jellyfish are difficult to keep in a normal aquarium. They tend to get clogged in the tank's filtration system. Once clogged, it is almost impossible to rescue the jellyfish, and when you wake up in the morning, all the jellyfish that were there last night are gone! This situation can occur rather easily.

The Desktop Jellyfish Tank is a dedicated tank for jellyfish. There are already several similar products on the market, but the Desktop Jellyfish Tank features a simple and beautiful design. The developer, Alex Andon, says, "If you are going to keep beautiful jellyfish, you want to make the tank beautiful, too. The developer, Alex Andon, designed this aquarium from scratch with this in mind.


In the Desktop Jellyfish Tank, a rotating water current is created along the perimeter of the tank so that jellyfish gather near the center of the tank. This prevents jellyfish from being sucked into the water inlet of the filter or harmed by air bubbles coming out of the drain. LED lights are installed in the lower part of the tank to illuminate the jellyfish beautifully in various colors.



The price is $366. This includes the tank, food for the jellyfish, a dropper for feeding the jellyfish, and the jellyfish. Unfortunately, however, they are unable to ship live jellyfish to Japan. As for jellyfish, they will need to be purchased from a Japanese pet store.



I don't know why I can't stop looking at jellyfish forever. I don't get tired of watching them as much as I do the laundry spinning around in the washing machine. On a Friday night after a hard day's work, it might not be a bad idea to spend the day feeding jellyfish.
