HEXBUG Aquabot Jellyfish
© 2015 Innovation First, Inc.
Confuse your guppies, with this Aquabot Jellyfish. It features "smart fish technology" and 15 pre-programmed swimming routines that mostly involve up and down. The Jellyfish has 18 silicone tentacles and a ducted impeller motor (not unlike that used on a jet ski) that allows it to spin and swim as it moves around your tank. You can adjust the Aquabot's buoyancy to allow it to dive deeper (using adjustable weights in the battery door). There is no on or off switch. The power is water activated. After several minutes of swimming, it will go into sleep mode to save the 3 button cell batteries. You can wake your jellyfish in three ways: run your fingers through the water; touch the Jellyfish; or tap the side of your tank. The Jellyfish will come in five colors. The first set of 3 button cell batteries is included. Also new this year: the Hexbug Aquabot Remote Control Angelfish and Hexbug Aquabot Seahorse.
