On July 26, 2019, Sugar uploaded two videos of the Jellyfish, swimming in the small bowl. As active as he is on Twitter, the Chairman of Amshold Group’s tweet quickly got Twitterati’s attention. The 72-year-old captioned the clips saying, “Some people have gold fish,” and “some people collect gold fish.” In both the videos, the sea fish can be seen moving around the bowls which are sitting on top of a net on a table.

It Should be Swimming in the Ocean!
Why is it in that tiny bowl when it could be enjoying the wonder of the ocean just feet away? #mindless

We Hope That Too...
You can’t keep goldfish in a bowl let alone a jellyfish. Also where is the filter? I hope you’re putting it back in the sea otherwise your jellyfish will be dead in a few days time

You need to be very careful before putting any controversial tweets or at least be clear with the followers of your intentions. Apparently, the British business magnate had uploaded the video of the jellyfish which has been rescued recently and will be returned to where it belongs. After Lord Sugar’s videos garnered online debate, he responded, “Of course they are going back on the sea. This one was rescued from a fishing net. Just on display for the kids.” Well, we hope that the sea jelly is released to the ocean soon.
