"Fishies"
I love these little fish! They are lightweight, carefully painted, and can sit on a shelf or be hung from a tree branch. I hope they make more colors. I would like to send a blue one to my niece. Thank you for your beautiful work.

"Very Sweet indeed! Great gift items"
I kept two of these for myself and gave the rest away to managers (and associates) at pet stores where I purchase my fresh water fish for my aquariums. They love them! I made my own extra special by adding some fun beads. It is so much fun to buy ornaments from Novica - Keep some - give the rest as gifts. Always great values and superb quality.
