How much helium do I need to fully inflate the balloon? (maybe 3.25 cubic ft? I might be way off...)

I am sorry I am unsure...we bought one of those at home party balloon helium tanks for like $22. We used it to inflate this...the very larg Olaf balloon and then about 20 other 16 inch normal balloons. The tank is not empty. Hope that helps.

Same answer as the others. It pumps the air that's in the room into the balloon. You can rent a Helium tank to inflate balloons that will float in the air. If you want to use Helium make sure the balloons are made for that.

Size of the fish when inflatted is 144 x40 x88CM (according to manufacturer information) You will need a 20 litre tank due to large size (about 4 feet) Found this while searching to answer your question that might help, http://www.aga.com/international/web/lg/aga/like35agacom.nsf/docbyalias/helium_filling. Please feel free to ask any other question. Thank you.

I used about 1 oz. per 12 balloons. Because of the application method though, I'm sure this is going to be a variable ratio in real practice.

I have no idea. I bought this balloon for my 14 yr old grand son, so no experience with it.

Hello, i bought it for my daughter's birthday and i used to inflate 150 balloons average size, no problem, i believe it can inflate easy 250 to 300 balloons

I'm sorry, I can't help you, since I can't keep the balloon inflated. Mine sags after 5 minutes, so I don't have your problem!

I am in the same boat. Mine came a bit inflated but not enough to use. Trying to inflate with pump (not provided) I don't feel much progress is happening.

These particular balloons are made to be inflated with air, they are not large enough to inflate with helium and float. Balloons 9" or larger are manufactured to be filled with helium to float. Thank you.Thank you!

I had trouble filling the 30 rubber balloons provided with the kit. So I would say under 30 ballons

Ah, thanks for the reply, we ended up using this balloon and the results were perfect!

Yes. I bought 2 for a party and thought I'd run out with just one, but there was plenty of helium in one tank to fill about 50 balloons. I was very happy with this purchase.

Walmart sells helium tank for about $25. It is in wedding/party section. That is all you need.

Mine is right about 30" although I suppose if you inflated it more it would expand, much like a balloon can be a good deal larger if you put more air into it. Since 75 cm works out to 29.5" then arguably it would be over-inflated at 44". It depends what you want out of your ball - if it needs to be stiff then you would need to inflate it to be larger, because mine is quite bouncy at 30".

Lots. It just takes a little tiny bit (not a full pump) and then you squish it around in the inside of the balloon. Too much of a squirt will actually make the balloons drop because of the weight (in the mtns of CO, anyway). But really, just a little squirt and then you massage the balloon. I just found 3 balloons from November when cleaning our theater that were still inflated --- not floating, but not loosing air. It works if you are looking for something to extend the helium's "hours".

You should under inflate it to about a 6' diameter. Measure the shadow it casts to get an approximation. As it ascends the helium will expand the balloon to the 20' diameter before it bursts.

Of course this hinges on a lot of factors, how well you handle the balloon, if you stored it at the recommended temperature, and especially how much gas you put in it. My bursted at ~102,000.
