That didn't look like flying fish...
I make flying fish out of fine benzolift with 120 mesh aluminum. I fold over a long piece of masking tape with a thin line of power down it, and twist it up. Then I cover that with an equally long layer of tape and fold that over, continuing to twist it up. That creates great flying fish.

The stars had magnesium added in them. The break was about 50/50 granulated bp/flash. The stars diameter was 1/4". The formula for these stars is 55 - Potassium Nitrate
17 - Sulfur
11 - Charcoal Airfloat
5 - Aluminum, atom, spher, 400 mesh, 14 micron
5 - Dextrin 5 - magnesium.

I used flying fish glitter stars with Mg added, charcoal streamers, and a little colored flying fish for added effect.(you can barely notice the flying fish, it is red) For the burst I used a straw filled with granulated bp and some 70/30 perc/Al flash.To make sure the stars all light I fill in the crevices around the stars with bp. This also helps with the break.
