Jellyfish

The Jellyfish is an interesting fish. It has the shortest range of any fish (August 15th through August 30th), but yet, it is the lowest selling fish, at 100 Bells. The fish will appear all day during this short period of time. The jellyfish that appear in cannot be caught. Instead, they are obstacles when the player is deep-sea diving and will sting the player on contact.

Donating to the Museum
As with all fish and bugs in the, the jellyfish can be donated to the Museum by talking to Blathers. Below is what he says upon donation:

In Wild World
"You can actually find these in restaurants, though which ones I do not know. Jellyfish can grow to be almost three feet long, did you know that?! That crunchy texture... It takes rather an open mind to enjoy, eh wot?"

In City Folk
"...Hoo, are you aware that the jellyfish is completely without bones? There's a legend that says the jellyfish had bones long ago, but they were taken away by a sea deity. ...Yes, the reason was that the jellyfish was quite the gossip and was eventually punished for it... Getting boneless... Rather a stiff punishment, eh wot?"

The jellyfish appears in the museum's right circular tank. It just hovers in the same place, occasionally jumping forward a bit.

Further information
The flower hat jelly is a rare species of jellyfish found in waters off Brazil, Argentina, and southern Japan. The flower hat jelly can grow to be about 15cm (6 inches) in diameter. Its sting is non-lethal but painful. Its diet consists mostly of small fish. Jellyfish have been around since the time of the dinosaurs, and have no brains, causing them to be largely researched by scientists.
