well...he had a tank full of the Crimson Loaches and another tank full of Thai Red-tail Zebra Loach (Shistura Mahnerti ) I managed to resist...for now. I was on a mission for Africans for my father's tank and these jumped out at me as soon as I walked in. I am sure there were many other interesting things I missed.

Jim, I just noticed you are located in Indiana...I don't imagine you get a chance to pop in to Ned's too often :D

Not too often. I do have some hillstream loaches from there, though.

Try using the built in flash. The camera usually turns up the gain to prevent shake blur when light is not sufficient for its sensor. The increased gain will create that grainy picture (called noise). Keep in mind, when using the flash, do not take the picture head on or the flash bounces directly back into camera and the camera compensates by overdarkening the pic.
