The problem I ran into making mine is that they were FULL of cotton. It took hours of work to pull it out using forceps through a small hole cut in the back, and through his mouth. So, if you buy one locally, or off ebay, make sure they are EMPTY!!! lol As far as the light attaching, and easy solution for a low wattage bulb is one of the Dept 56 Christmas Houses lights. You can get em for about $4, and those little black "wings" on the side hold the fixture in place in your fish. If you're gonna go this route, buy the fixture first, so you dont make the hole too big! And post your results!!! Happy building!
