You can find 6 volt battery powered fish tank pumps in pet shops. If you
take the pump out of its enclosure, wich is 90% battery space, you get a
really small pump, about 1.25" x .75". If its a one piece project or very
low quantity you can cut out the plastic part of the pump thats integrated
to the enclosure on cheap pumps.
