andon11··on My startup makes jellyfish aquariums
the jellies require feeding and some water changes, but they're about as hardy as any other aquarium fish.

so far we've been doing large custom tanks with automatic feeders or technicians coming in every day to do the feeding.

as we launch a line of desktop tanks, I wonder if customers will dread feeding the jellies 2x/day like brushing your teeth, or look forward to it like watering a houseplant. Personally, I don't like brushing my teeth and never kept a plant alive for more than a week. thoughts?

saltwater isn't too difficult. not as easy as betta in a bowl, but you only need to check on it every other week.

agreed, flow on site is non existent

we're developing two new sites: jellyfishart.com will sell the custom (expensive) tanks with better pictures, video, and information pages. the objective is enticing qualified buyers, giving them the information they need to decide if they are serious about buying, then allowing contact with us. jellyfishsupply.com is in development. it will be an e commerce site selling plug-and-play tanks, jellies, and accessories.
