Any one can keep nautilus in aquarium? And how you keep it?

Simple answer...no.

Please no. They need colder water and are not suited to the standard reef aquarium.

Is there not a pressure issue as well?

I haven't even seen one in a large public aquarium never mind in a smaller home aquarium.

You could keep a nautilus but only if you don't have fish! They eat fish. They need large tanks of atleast 100 gallons!! They are only for advanced aquarists. No lighting needed. How big is your tank?

Completely wrong, Unless by "advanced aquarist" you mean a public aquarium. Feel free to prove me wrong with concrete evidence from a credible source.

Please just no. Leave them be.

They actually have some at the Shedd Aquarium here in Chicago. As far as keeping one, they are much better off staying in the ocean.

Well, so are all the other fish and corals we keep, but that's a different argument . It would probably be possible to keep them privately, but you need to have a large budget and you'd need to make a lot of connections/do a lot of research to avoid a series of failures. They are trapped in a few places in the Indo-Pacific, including Indonesia (as you probably know), so that would be to your advantage. You would need to contact the keepers at the Shedd Aquarium and all the others that you might find who keep them, assuming you could afford the financial cost of the setup.

Cheers,

Dang I was out that way last month and wanted to stop there but didn't have time. Oh well maybe next time I visit that area.

After searching for information and reading all the comments, I decided to not maintain nautilus in aquarium. We must have much time to feed them eat and must have good equipment to keep them still alive. I think it's better to let Them stay alive in the sea. Thank for all comments and suggestions that have been given.
