    Searching for push button fish-swims-through-hoop toy from early 80's...
    Looking for a toy I had in 1982-1985 when I was in the 6th grade, I think about 11-12 years old. It was a handheld, spherical fish tank with a square base attached that had a single yellow push button. It stood about 10” tall. The clear ball was filled with water-like fluid and inside was a yellow hoop in the center and a plastic fish free floating. When you pushed the button, the fish would wag it's tail and swim, the faster you pushed the button, the faster he would swim around the tank. The goal would be to get him to swim through the hoop in the middle of the spherical tank. I remember when you pushed the button and held it in, the fish would sink to the bottom; thus controlling his buoyancy. The fish was orange I believe and the hoop was yellow, and I believe a few plants were in there too. Outside was blue plastic. Any idea how/where I can find this toy? What the name of this toy is?
    Thanks,
    David

    I think I've seen your post on other forums. I've been looking for this thing forever as well... finally found one. It was called "Something Fishy" and made by Tomy in 1981. Very rare to come by.
