First let me start by saying that jellyfish are pretty neat creatures. Whenever I go the the aquarium or the zoo, I love to spend a couple of minutes looking at them because they are fairly graceful when the move through the water. Also, many of the places you see them have them lit up so they look even neater.

On the flip side, I hate diving with jellyfish. When I dive off of the outer banks in North Carolina, I almost always get stung by a jellyfish. And when you are at 50 feet and just starting your dive, all you go do is think "OOWWwww" (and maybe cry a little from the pain).

All that being said, there is a new aquarium out so that you can view jellyfish at your home or office. Aquapict LED Jellyfish houses fake jellyfish (although they look kind of real in the pictures) that float around. You can change the LED colors and patterns to enhance the viewing. I don't know if it is worth the $137.00 they are charging but it would still be neat to see. If anyone buys it, let me know how it is.

My wife and I have frequently thought about having an aquarium in our house. The biggest reason that I would like an aquarium is the feeling of relaxation it brings to me. I know I don't want a fresh water aquarium. I think it has to be salt. I like a lot of the coral life that I can grow in a salt water aquarium. I also think many of the salt water fish I can put in there are prettier.

One day when this happens I will journal that on this blog, until then I will talk a little bit about other aquariums that impress me (not that I have seen them in person). Today's aquarium is the aquarium housed in the Berlin Radisson. It is 25 meters tall and houses over 2,500 tropical fish. You can see a picture of it too the left. It is not something you would just go and shove in you house. It looks like it should be something that people have to pay to see (other then the cost of a hotel room). If anyone goes there please take pictures and let me know what it is like.
