I like jellyfish 🪼
Correct! and jellyfish are unironically plankton! I was giving specifics
oh my word! This is so cool!!!! Thanks for sharing
in captivity, they are fed mostly brine shrimp and mysis shrimp. If they are a larger species, they are often also fed moon jellyfish (because jellyfish often eat other jellyfish)
(and it was by accident. I work with the guy who did it). Most of the time, jellyfish are considered pests, and for good reason; There numbers are starting to bloom thanks to climate change (specifically rising ocean temperatures). We did this as humanely as possible, and the person who ended up taking them back is genuinely one of the best jellyfish keepers in North America (that I'm aware of at least). I genuinely hope this was informative :)
Respectfully, I disagree. Museums and aquariums are research institutions as well as for entertainment. This specific species "Chrysaora chesapeakei" was only recently classified in 2017, so we can still learn a lot from them. Jellyfish are most often studied for their ability to repurpose any part of their bodies. To do this, we need jellyfish to study. Most of the jellyfish supplied to research places are raised from birth, but we only got this species to reproduce naturally 2 years ago (1/2)
As someone who is a hobbiest jellyfisher, this is very true. With climate change, it's making it a lot easier to see jellyfish blooms. Most people consider them pests. The primary place we go to is a private property where the land owners thank us for helping remove these guys.

I love that song
ohhhhh, man! I would absolutely love to, but that's on the opposite side of the US from me :(
Here's a video I took to show what I mean: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cc1VLBfypuslhqETxHF7dgi-hy0zRj3B/view?usp=sharing
The videos I did take were of poor quality and I need to redo them. I intend on fixing that in the future
I've named three of them. second from last image, right side: Phobos. Middle jelly in that one: Venus. 6th image down: Deimos
I can talk more via DM's if you're interested
usually eat normal salt water aquarium foods like mysis shrimp and Brine shrimp
biggest thing is they need to be kept in a type of aquarium (a pseudo-kreisel). Each species has its own special requirements, but they ...
Omg, lol. It's honestly is exactly like that
It's not terribly safe for the jellyfish to touch them, but if you do, they're very smooth on their bells. Just, don't get stung by them :)
Thanks!
This is amazing! May I ask how it was taken?
hey, SR2! heck yeah! Looks good
It's one common aspect of it, yes. The term commonly used for the "also ADHD" part is called "Hyperfocus" if you want to look into it more
#43 that's one hell of an epitaph
I can't be as creative as I could, and it annoys the heck out of me. That and other executive function problems are what I hate about ADHD
stories and thinking about visuals, but I've given up on finishing them because I know once I get past a hurtle, I'll stop for some reason.
Man, I hate it too. I've always had great weeks, followed by ones of nothing, wondering "why?" while hating myself for it. I like writing..
I saw this post practically as soon as it was posted, started writing a comment, then stopped to go out for a bit... dammit. have an upvote
my phone, but also, my PC and a metallic engineering scale that I've been saying for years would make a good weapon... Time to prove that
elaborating, it's not that I can't follow it, it's just that the underlying anatomy (especially for your extra examples) is left unexplained
For one, this assumes we know how to draw and shade the eyelids. Great job, but it's not super first-timer friendly for people like me
