I guess it really depends on the mass difference between the other liquid and the wax. If they’re almost the same, there shouldn’t be much net force. If they’re drastically different you might see some net external force produced. Since the blobs move slowly in the liquid, we have to expect the densities are at least comparable. I’d think the net movement of mass is too.
