by Chad L. Widmer

Many people want to learn how to keep and grow jellyfish in aquariums, but don't know where to start. Though the scientific literature contains clues, the language can be cryptic for the uninitiated, and the references can be tricky to track down without access to a well-stocked university library. In this first-of-its-kind guide, Chad L. Widmer presents in plain language some proven methods for jellyfish husbandry. With some study, attention to detail, and a little pioneer spirit, you'll soon be enjoying your own jellies, along with your newfound jelly-keeping skills.

In the wise words of Tommy Knowles this book truly "gold" and presents in plain language on growing, keeping jellies. As someone who learned how to grow jellies, I would say this really is the only go-to guide on anyone who is looking to culture "grow" jellyfish from 1-5. The one caveat is that you probably would want to have solid basic aquarium skills (which is why I didn't say 0) like water quality, lighting and filtration before embarking this journey - the book also mentions that you want to have had experience with basic aquariums.

This was an informative read that made things simple for anyone entering the hobby, but not too simple that made things drag on. If you are new to the aquarium hobby I suggest reading other sources before this one as this does not go over the basics such as filtration and lighting. But if jellyfish keeping and production is something you are looking for (or even some cool facts) this is the book for you.
