I really want to make this for my Son's 5th Birthday party but reading the other reviews alot of them saying it's hard to see the fish i was thinking of trying clear Jello if they make it and put a lil blue food coloring!! I don't know Im going to play around with it a lil and find a fish that won't get GROSS!!

These were fun to make and tasted great, but it is very hard to see the fish. Notice in their pic, there is light shining from behind.

Instead of using fruit I smashed up some graham crackers for the bottom. I just poured some in the bottom of the cup w/ about a teaspoon of jello so it would get firm before pouring anything else in.

I had no problem. Don't put the strawberries in until you are ready to serve it. The recipe says to put the strawberries on the bottom of the cup and then pour the thickened jello on top.

The strawberries kept floating to the top, so i suggest making about half of the jello and set it with the strawberries, then make the rest, pour it on top of the already set jello, and put the fish in.

Do not make these ahead of time. Make them the day of. I made them the night before and when it came time to eat them the following afternoon, the fish were very soggy and I could not even eat them. They are a little difficult esp. if the JELLO doesn't set.

This turned out so gross looking. I made them the night before the party and all of the coloring from the fish starting running off. The fish also looked bloated.

I made them the night before, and the fish got all soggy and gross. Don't make these until the day of the party.

Sounds like a great recipe. I am going to use one box clear and one box blue to try to lighten it up a little. Anyone have any other ideas for the fish. They all say that they get slimy.
