    Could always fill it with hydrogen then when you get bored of flying it around you can reenact the Hindenburg with a clown fish.

    Helium is expensive. Stronger motors and heater to warm the air would be cheaper. Filling a blimp at a hockey game with helium is nothing... Odds are I won't be flying my clownfish over 10,000 people that paid between 10 and 500 dollars.

    Lol it was a price comparison. That 30 dollar tank would probably do dozens of the air swimmers. So even if it only did 2 dozen that would only cost a little over a dollar a balloon to fill. I would hope it was like a 1000% markup on the helium especially when they probably have one of the large 4.5ft tall tank.
