Can box jellyfish be pets if so would a standard aquariam be sufficient?

Simply put - No. A jellyfish requires a high level ofmaintenance and it also requires rather specific tanks. Jellyfish require a constant flow of water to avoid getting "stuck" in places throughout the tank.

If you go to an Aquarium you'll find Jellyfish in column tanks, or in circular tanks. Never in a standard rectangular tank.

You need to use special filters for the constant flow as mentioned. They also have a short life span and can live from several months to few years... It's a large layout for something which could die at any time due to ill care.

Typical Jellyfish setup costs a lot of money, probably starting around 2000-4000 POUNDS and around 5000 DOLLARS. Not for the faint hearted.

If you keep a Box Jellyfish and handle it incorrectly then you literally can die. Good Luck!
