Thats a good idea as well. As long as the fish and candles do not come in contact with each other, it should be ok. There is nothing worse than the smell of decomposing fish Good luck!!

Hi Northern, Im new to the forums as well to candle making but one thing I do know for sure is fish, having grown up in my dads fish store. I absolutely would not put candles in fish bowls with live fish. The FOs and dyes would contaminate the water and kill the fish. What you could do is maybe get some sort of hurricane or glass tube to go into the center of the bowl secured with aquarium safe silicon adhesive and put a LED candle in the center (if the candle glow is all you're going for) and then pour the water and fish in the bowl so it surrounds the glass tube. (hope that makes sense) Another idea would be to put a smaller bowl with the fish into a larger bowl upside down so it looks like the fish is in a bubble (make sure there is some air at the top of the "bubble") and then float your candles in the bowl. However, I think the first idea with the LED is probably safer for the fish.

Pappashop.com is also very very good. Wonderful and fast CS. You can design your own shop or choose a template. They set up everything for you for free.

These sound like the Gold Canyon sample pots a woman sells at the base we are stationed at. She sells them in a little basket with a tart warmer she buys at the 100 yen store (we are stationed in Okinawa, its their version of our dollar store) along with a tiny spoon she also buys at the store. I bought a ton of those things because I loved how I could add as much or as little as I wanted. For some reason, I dont think they are made out of crisco though lol. Would love to know what kind of wax they use though. Love the softness of it.
