Jonathan brought home some fish for the big aquarium first. We'll take the girls later in the week to pick out their own fish. Some people were pretty excited about our new fish.

MsE spent some time counting fish in the bags. They kept moving so that kept her busy for a while. MsC worked out how much each fish each cost by how much the bags had cost. Once the bags sat in the tank to let the fish acclimatize a while, they were released to a rapt audience. I think we all liked watching the shrimp the best.

Before the fish came, we woke up to a muddy tank and so there's a lot of water changes happening to keep it under control. Jonathan figures it's his hill at the back seeping through the water table to muddy the whole tank. It should simmer down or else he will take his hill apart and rebuild that part.

(PS. He did take the hill apart and rebuilt it).

When the aquarium was all set up MsE asked,

"Can we get some popcorn and watch it like a movie?"
