- Stir until smooth and glossy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Let the mixture sit for a few minutes until slightly thickened but not fully set.
Assembling the Aquarium
- Sprinkle a layer of shredded coconut or crushed graham crackers at the bottom of your clear container to serve as the sandy ocean floor.
- Carefully pour the gelatin mixture over the base layer, filling the container about halfway.
Adding Candy Creatures
- Gently place gummy fish and sea creatures into the gelatin to make them appear as if they’re swimming.
- Place the aquarium in the fridge and allow the gelatin to set completely, usually about 3-4 hours.

- Once set, share with friends and family or enjoy it all by yourself.
