My new Asian nugget

Please welcome my pink mini jellyfish,  Mazu 妈祖 - dancing to some traditional Chinese tunes  ^__________^


She is named after the Chinese goddess of the sea who protects sailors and fishermen.

Mazu lives in fresh water, can live up to a year, and gets fed one drop of Jellyfish food (what is it? no clue) every 20 days.  Yay Jelly!


**UPDATE**
She died a terrible death after two days.  Apparently she was not bred for fresh water, and apparently table salt will not help jellyfish to breathe in emergency situations...
