Check it out!
Here's 1 of many videos of it, along with a Clown Fish, on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIJINiK9azc
Found this out last night on Face Book. Don't know how long it's been out. On Amazon, it says up to 40 Range Infra-red control, Shark measures 57 x 36 Inches, requires helium to float-- can be re-inflated over and over. Stays inflated for up to 2 weeks and requires 4 AAA Batteries (1 in the body, 3 in the controller). It has complete up, down and 360 degree turning control! Hours of remote control fun. Fish-like tail movement. Priced at $34.

I have had a shark and a clownfish and now have a shark and an orca. They are pretty cool :) not particularly durable considering they are giant balloons. And steer well clear of the ebay knock offs :(
Including tail they 'stand' as tall as me :) I posted videos and pictures on here somewhere.

Man, those would be good for corralling Mom's chihuahua :P. Do they make much noise?
-
No, virtually silent aside from the flap, flap, flap of the tail :)
-
Good to know ;). The only place I could use it would be in the basement though :/.
-
I thought about purchasing a remote controlled orca but since my room is in the top of the house, my ceiling is pitched. It would be dangerous for flying around. Too bad no one has made one that swims in water or something. Lol!

I think it's likely that your ceiling is bigger than your bath :D He wouldn't be able to turn around in my tub :D

Haha! Good point. The kitchen ceiling is probably large enough for one to swim safely provided I figure out where the light fixtures are beforehand.
