I think this nymph is one of the Skimmers (Family Libellulidae) and is about 18 mm in length. It was photographed in my 2 gallon aquarium setup. 5D II, 100 mm macro, 1/80, f/16, ISO 100, MT-24EX macro twin flash (diffused), tripod, cable release. NR on the background and I removed hundreds of tiny bits of debris from the water to clean up the image. Jerry suggested that I include an image that wasn't cleaned up for comparison - so a couple such versions of this image are presented below. As usual, all comments are welcome and appreciated.
