Can't say I know anyone who has ever successfully kept Jellyfish, but Octopeds are quite common.
If you are interested in them ( Octo's ) here is a good link http://www.tonmo.com/

I would suggest to you, from the very little that I know, that Jellyfish would be almost impossible to keep. As for Octopeds, go to the site I referred you to, it has all the info you could every want to know about them.
In both cases you would need a single species tank and very special care.

| Re: octopus and jellyfish
My understanding is that Jelly fish will eat anything that is smaller than themselves. So a jellyfish that you sould keep in an aquarium could be fed with planktonic food. They would also be best kept under a very low current.
Now HL14, there's something to start with, so how about you find out everything there is to know about keeping Jellyfish and post your findings :-)
