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.

Here you go:

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.

i actually just want the "balls" not the fish

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.

 

[TheeMon]

they would bulldog but i want the glass ones because there dang near invisable, and regular bobbers stick out like a sore thumb

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

 

[TheeMon]

yes.

well im not doing anything yet, its just they open alot of doors

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.

give examples then

 

[DMWave45]

What exactly are you planning to do with these if you can find them?

 

[TheeMon]

well i have many ideas, but the one im prolly gonna do first is tie it to the entrance to my crayfish's house/cave that way when i need my cray i can just pull him out

Plastic pop bottles with the labels off, bubble wrap, air filled shipping spacers, zip lok bags with air in them, and I already said ice cubes.

i feel like you could just make something or find something you got that would work and be "invisible" too. I wouldnt spend the money for some glass balls and then you still gotta do yer project anyways. Just do the whole thing all yerself. I'll try to think up some ideas for some diy clear bobbers, hehe

 

[mepeterser2451]

also why cant you just put somethin across the top of yer tank and pull em up? or stick yer hand in?
i guess im still confused at what this is for?

 

[TheeMon]

wow, its not really for anything...

i thought they would be very useful and because of that fact i mentioned it here... maybe this thread will inspire someone else to use these for there own purpose
