I have been trying to find some Chili Rasboras for my new 16 gallon nanotank since before I even got the tank. They've been out of stock everywhere. I even signed up for text notifications on a couple of sites and when I got the text I was in the middle of a meeting, and by the time I escaped, they were out of stock again.
I went to a meeting of the Colorado Aquarium Society tonight and managed to snag six in the auction.
Here's a terrible picture of them being drip acclimated.

Ok, more C fun today. I'm getting -fsanitize=undefined working and am hitting the wall when trying to get the language to support arithmetic right shift operations. There doesn't appear to be a simple way to get the compiler to emit this instruction except by exercising implementation-defined behavior of the right-shift operator on signed integer types.
I ask again what kind of systems language is C supposed to be if it can't express a universal operation of this nature?…
