Could some one give me some ideas on what materials you can use to make artificial fish gills and tell me how to anchor them into position on the fish.
Thanks

One method I use is to buy RED chenille(like pipe cleaner) that is XL(1/2" thick). I lay that on wax paper and apply a heavy layer of Elmer's glue. That flattens the chenille. When the glue dries clear you have what looks like a "strip" of gill filaments. That can be cut to length and bent on any desired arch to match the oroginal gills. The ends can be hot glued in place in the fish head. I always do this procedure on open gill fake fish. I hope this helps you out. Good luck.
