are jelly fish hard to keep

You need a special kind of tank to get some jellyfish like moon jellyfish. They require certain flow in a direction. I am not an expert on them but that might be enough to help you out. They aren't that hard to keep I have heard. I am not entirely sure. Hope that this helps my friend!

That sounds great, I have this YouTube video talking about his jellyfish at college. I will link the video below. I'm not exactly sure what you should buy but he explains it all very well. Hope this helps my friend!

Looks like you can buy tanks and supplies here; Canadians also have this option. The tanks look cool, but I feel that the jellies are being treated more like conversation pieces for bored yuppies than a serious commitment worthy of a species tank.

Not necessarily but there are requirements especially with water flow that are important. In Jellyfish tanks, you generally have a spray bar that creates a gentle sheet of flow. The tanks themselves are often round, or rounded to help achieve a circular motion of flow. Filtration and pumps must be kept behind screens to prevent the jellies from being sucked in.
You can generally keep 3-4.... 2″ Moon Jellyfish in a 6 gallon aquarium and 10- 2″ jellyfish in a 20 gallon aquarium.
In the wild, Jellyfish consume plankton, like copepods, fish larva, etc. There are many dry, powdered and pellet foods available for Jellyfish now. These foods have made it very easy to keep healthy, well fed Jellyfish. Live brine shrimp also good
