Would these fish fit through the neck of a typical water bottle? Making "ocean in a bottle" for 3 year olds.

Sorry, they are too big for that. Most of them were about the size of a silver dollar. They are adorable, but more as a gift in a gift bag.

These are too big to fit the neck of a typical water bottle. If you had a wide-necked bottle they would work, like a gallon milk jug, or a large juice jug.

If you really want to make these bottles work, you could use a thin exact type knife and score out the valve on the inside of the straw, coming in from the top. Cutting out the two pieces that are about 1/2" from the top would remove the restriction from inside. As you wash these bottles though, the rubber becomes softer and you'll get more flow anyway. However, if your kiddo is at the point where he's needing more volume out of the straw, you may want to look for a bottle that has a hard straw. Now that mine is a little older, we use cups with lids and a hard straw that has a rubber ring around it to keep it sealed. Nuby soft tops aren't known to be long lasting bottles after all. Good luck! If you really want to make these bottles work, you could use a thin exact type knife and score out the valve on the inside of the straw, coming in from the top.

It will only use the plastic 3 gallon and 5 gallon water containers. As far as i know the glass water bottles have a diffrent opening.

The cups are pretty small for kids that age. If your tween actually wanted to drink out of them, that might be a bit tricky.

YES. My 8 year old grandson has three in his bowl plus two small plastic fish and two small rocks. It is very real looking.

I tried to put it in a plastic water bottle that would have about the same size opening and couldn't make it happen. Hope that helps!

My pump didn't fit my 5 gallon bottle. I think maybe the pump wouldn't fit over the bottom of the bottle neck. Our solution was to use plastic to a cerrain thickness so that .the pump fit snuggly over the uiper part of the neck. Not the same as getting pieces that actually fit, but ...hey!

I really don't think the age will matter at all. I worried about the same thing, since my birds were 2-ish months old when I switched over to nipple feeding them through an automatic waterer. They caught on just fine, but I used a rubber band to jerry-rig the valves open. The water dripped out continuously, and pretty soon (within 5-10 minutes) they figured out how to knock it with their beaks to drink from it. I did this to a couple more nipples and then they just figured it out from there. Took maybe 15 minutes total and they were trained. No problems whatsoever.

if they fit...the caps most likely will not seal totally. In my experience the smaller or even plastic cups didn't stick or seal tight enough to the cup...that the lids were easy to remove...meaning when my daughter was sitting and drinking...just the pressure or touch of her shirt or arm, knocked the lid off. I found them not good for younger kids...She is 4.5 years. Hope this helps.

Maybe with an older child who is able to drink from a regular cup, but I wouldn't use them with liquids with a little one. It could get very messy very quickly! Haven't had a problem with my kiddo opening the seal at the bottom- I don't think he realizes it's there. He is 23 months.

No - they have a pretty wide mouth and the caps are not attached. My 6-year-old did well with them though. Not sure how well a younger child would do.

Hi no I don't believe your 3 year old would be able to open the large container. My 12 year old has a hard time taking the lid off.

I put mine in a bottle with algae balls. I'm sure they'd be fine in a baby biorb. Just don't put anything in with them that will think they're a nice little snack...

It's possible but unless the pictures are laminated, they're just going to collect condensation and be ruined. How this water bottle is set up is the inner glass layer can be completely removed, but again, the condensation would get in the way.

On bottle states to consult with physician for children under 8 months. I believe the most current research states it's ok to introduce fish at 6 months.

You can put this in just about anything. I have some in a 5 gallon bucket that I have hanging. I have others in a PVC pipe that is connected to a 5 gallon bucket. They have to be vertical or they will drip. You could build a frame I suppose, but they need to be able to get to the nipples, which need to be on the bottom. I have seen them in the caps of water bottles or pop bottles for chicks, too.

Not sure, perhaps it's a CPSC recommendation. Younger kids could use them just fine I think, but be aware that they are rigid and are not bendable or soft like a plastic straw,
