I watched the instructional video. You use clay to weight them for neutral bouyancy. One button on the remote moves the control unit forwards and backwards on the fish, pointing the fish up or down. The fish then "swims" up or down.
As cwh said, some people deserve to get rich.

Those are a trip. Great idea. Looks like a lot of fun.
So the guy takes one to Comic-Con and then the whole idea goes viral on YouTube and Facebook and now his online store is broken. Reminds me of a commercial from a few years back where a couple guys have something to sell and then as the website is live they cheer when they get the first sale. Then the sales counter goes crazy and they are a bit stumped. Maybe it was a UPS commercial?
