Random moving balls

In the first image I'm going to simulate (GIF) O2 flotation around on sea level. On the second image I will do the same, but this time at 5895m (above sea level), so less O2 floating around.

I have made a shape layer, perfect circle. I then created a null objected with a slider. Further I created a wiggle and connected this one to the null object. And look at that, I have a moving O2 (well almost. Just a blue ball). I then copied the one and got a bunch new balls. Sadly the are are not completely a copy. They are not exactly the same size.

So, how can I copy the original ball 100%?

Not sure you understood, so I will link to the video I learned it from:

    I think they're probably the same size, but they're spread out in 3D space. Just leave the first one 2D before you create the duplicates.

    Thank you! That makes sense. I will look into it.
