Instructions
Add gelatin powder to a pitcher.
Heat 1 cup of water in the microwave just until it comes to a boil (about 2 minutes).
Carefully add hot water to gelatin mix and stir until dissolved. Then stir in 1 cup of very cold water. Put pitcher in fridge to cool down for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the glass bowls. (Don't skip the step of cooling down the Jello mixture as using hot or even warm mixture can melt the Nerds).
Scoop ¼ cup of Nerds into each glass.
Next, gently pour the cooled gelatin mixture into each glass.
Move glasses to the fridge (loosely cover if you want) and refrigerate for 90 minutes or until gelatin has set.
Using a butter knife, cut two slits in the top of the gelatin, each near the edge on opposite sides of the glass. This is where you'll add your fish. Make each slit just long enough for one fish. Add a fish to each and press down as far as you want it to go below the surface or you can set the fish right on top so they're more visible. If you mess up the top, don't worry! No ocean has a perfectly smooth surface.
Serve immediately for best results.

Notes
Make sure you wait for the Jello to cool before you pour it over the nerds or the Nerds will lose color and can melt.
