Trying to take photos of black kuhli (or what it may be)

Sorry for the algea and other spots... too tricky and lazy to get into the corners...but this way no one will steal the pics 
Aaaaand I´m just trying that pocket camera which I finally bought... hmmm, still a lot to learn... there is not enough light, I will need to get some wireless remote flash or something like that, and a black cover at the back of the tank... I tried with a construction lamp from the side (additional to the flash) from the top it´s not possible due to the plants growing out of the tank - The construction lamp made the plants pearl right away, but heats up everything close to it... and needless to mention, that all loaches were instantly invisibly ...
Here with Aborichthys el. joining the session
Just the Pangi... (plural?) cosy in the coconut
This one looks awkward, as if the loach were smashed under that stone
(... yes I put a stone on the fish so it remains still, ...actually a tempting idea with those guys... )
I find barbles soooo interesting... these seem to be with smooth surface, the clown´s have textured ones... Did you ever imagine YOU had some barbles - eating could be much more effective (peeling shrimps out of the shell, you could eat 2 or 3 at a time
... and imagine the additional sensation when kissing... 
And finally almost an entire fish (after about 80000 snaps... well, still learning ... and waiting for more hints from Martin on digital photography,
)
