i seen them on fake glass fish, they got a fishing line that ties them to the glass fish... any1 know where i can get them?

my plan is tie them to something at the bottom of the tank, then use the string attached to pull the container up

(various ideas stem off that)

I'm not sure what you're talking about but I do know of some buoyant ceramic balls.

I know what your talking about. I have 3 of them...a fish, and a manta ray, and an octopus...lol My mom got the fish and the ray for me when they were in Shipswana, Indiana. My aunt got the octopus for me when she wasx in Sanibel Island Florida.

I really like these things...they are really cute...lol

I"ll see if I can find some online.

Here's a quotation from Craig Ball Sales where you can buy many different kinds of glass balls: "If you cannot find the balls that you are looking for, please click here to request a quote."

All I can say is Craig Ball Sales sure has a lot of products!

Something like these work? they have something to hold onto, available almost anywhere that sell fishing tackle. Or else the little round bobbers if you have a low top.

To bad ice cubes wouldn't work permanently! Whatever you are doing with them, is permanent, right?

Couldn't you use *anything* that floats? Lots of clear stuff floats...

I don't think online sources like to carry anything that fragile. I know what you're talking about, and it seems like they'd break pretty easily in the USPS.

USPS ships glass Christmas tree ornaments evey year. All it takes is the original packing material or something equal.
