some new tank mates for our aquarium

I went out with Kenny to buy the lightbulbs for the new ceiling fan we had installed above the dining table.
It had been hot and gross (this is the official term; in Japanese it's θΈγζγ "mushiatsui") as I installed the thing after our day of errands-running last night. By the time I'd finished, it was dark and I was fairly burned out. Beer helped (not all errands run during the day had been equal). But there were no light bulbs in the kit and we had none such in the apartment.
And it was clear after the torrential rain in the morning (third day running) that Kenny needed to get out of the apartment.
So we went for a nice walk in the semi-rainy, cool weather that we'd brought about by installing the ceiling fan, and on the way back we popped into a pet store. And they had some "Emperor Tetras" to go with the two survivors of the Small Tank Incident that wiped out virtually everything else.
Hooray!
