Thank You all for the nice comments, one can always count on it. 
Crazy Loaches you are correct and I am using a macro lens.
Here are a coule of macro examples using a 3.2 Mega pixel camera that I bought about 7 years ago. Image was shot at 1.9 mega pixels (macro mode), cropped to show detail and reduced in size for the web. One of the subjects is not much larger than a lady bug and the white flower is about 4mm. Sorry I do not have any loach close-ups using my old camera because I did not have any accessories to get light to the subject back then.
To over simplify, here is a summary: "Light" is the most important thing I consider and how to get the light through a "quality" lens to a CCD. If you do not have enough light, the camera compensates and the results can look distorted, noisy or "dusty" and unfocused.
As far as CCD they are all relatively the same size and they are most likely made by the same compamy. "Point and shoot" cameras have a 5.3x7.2mm CCD, DSLR's have a 16.7x25mm and pro cameras like the canon 5d and up can have full frame 35mm CCD's. That said, the more pixels you divide the CCD into, the less photons (light) each pixel/cell will be able to hold. In any consumer DSLR manufactured today, you will get the same size CCD weather 6 or 12 mega pixels. This info and the details I would love to go into are beyond the scope of this post and topic.
I will keep the Macro Pictures of the Loaches coming.
