Are We Nearly There Yet?

Here is the finished knitted aquarium, ready to be used in the animated film.  I had a terrible time trying to photograph it...indoors...

...outdoors......with flash......

...and without flash....

Anyway, I hope you can get the general idea of it from these pictures.  It is quite cunning within - under the (hinged) lid, there are three horizontal wires strung between the struts.  From these wires, the fish can be hung and will move from left to right.

Each fish has had a fine piece of wire inserted through their mouth right the whole length of their body and secured with a 'barb' at the end.  From the mouth come 'bubbles' which are beads threaded down the wire.  Each wire has enough leeway to be bent or straightened, thus making the fish go up or down, and at the top of the wire is a little hook so the fish can be facing either way depending on how hung. 

Someone suggested adding a little light...which if I had access to one of those tiny LED's found in Christmas novelties I might well have done, but on the other hand, I am not sure the animator would have approved!

Now people, any ideas on how to knit a 3 inch high working cuckoo clock?
