I can't find my post about making your own pufferfish lamp, but you can:

• Catch one yourself (they like corn),
• skin it while making as small an incision as you can,
• put an uninflated balloon into the skin,
• put the skin into the float through the small hole you drilled to put the lamp into the float,
• blow up the Balloon,
• tie off the balloon & suspend the puffer in the float so it doesn't touch the sides or bottom,
• let the puffer dry & cure,
• deflate & remove the balloon,
• cut a small hole into the puffer's dorsal region,
• and insert your light through the hole in the float & into your puffer.

I'll try to find my step-by-step DIY pufferfish lamp instructions, I might still have them around.
