Aquaria for scyphozoans

Fig. 6 Fig. 8

Fig. 7 - Starting new cultures of jellies from wild caught medusae can be pretty easy. I regularly use induced spawning and in vitro techniques. To spawn jellies put several mature male and female medusae into an enclosed "spawning chamber" or collecting bag over night. Often you will find gametes in the container within 24 hours.
