Hi maplemoth662.. I have been studying your cockroach nymph and believe you might have something less common than the German cockroach. The nymphs of the German cockroach have a single pale patch on the back like here https://www.adamspestcontrol.com/images/...
You might have an Australian cockroach nymph where the pale patch are divided into small parts like this https://arthropodafotos.de/pictures/37_d...

The Australian cockroaches are much more friendly and called 'Periplaneta australasiae'
