My new best friend E conta, aka "moth catfish" aka Hara maesotensis aka "Burmese mini catfish":

One of my little L144 plecos (aka blue/black-eyed yellow bristlenose), growing up!:

Thanks to everyone for the compliments and comments.

Hara: I thought of you too when I read its name. I bet your eyes are bigger, though.

drobertson: The L144 stays small, about 3.5 inches standard length (tip of nose to vent). If you find some let me know-I want to mix up the genetics a little in the group I have.

Zagz: Just take 200 pics. One will be good....I have tried to make a real study of photography, but it's too much like math and my brain rejects things like F-stops and aperture settings.

zenkatydid: Frank's Aquarium has 'em--for $3.50; a good excuse to buy more fish to fill a box and justify the $35-ish shipping. At least I thought so.....
