Feeding Jellyfish
Last Updated: 08/21/2010
Jellyfish Art provides a Frozen Food specifically formulated for jellyfish.  It is made from plankton high in HUFAs (Highly Unsaturated Fatty Acids), which are essential for proper nutrition.  We strongly recommend only feeding your jellyfish with our food.  Other fish foods that claim to be suitable for jellyfish are often of low quality.

Jellyfish should be fed once a day, although they can last a weekend without food.  If you can feed them twice a day or more, the jellies will be even more active.  If you have to skip feeding for a day or two,  be sure to feed the jellies a little extra both before and after.

Dosage Guide:
Three Desktop Moon Jellyfish should be fed a pea-sized chunk of food once a day.
Six Monaco Moon Jellyfish should be fed a raspberry-sized chunk of food once a day.
If your jellyfish are shrinking, increase the feeding dosage until their size stabilizes.
If the water remains cloudy an hour after feeding, decrease the feeding dosage.





1. Dissolve the chunk of food in a dish of tank water.  Instead of breaking off a small chunk, you can stir one end of a large chunk in the dish.  That end will defrost into the dish.
2. Squirt the mixture directly at the underside of each jellyfish.  You will see them trap the food in their tentacles.
3. Over the next half hour, you can watch the jellyfish move the food towards their stomach in the center of their bell.  After a few hours, you will see food fill the radial canals, which branch out from the center to the edges of the bell.
