I think its Botia rostrata.
My wife has one in her tank. I'd have to ask her.

It looks like a Botia kubotai. They can grow to 15 cm, but usually grow to 10 cm. They do best in groups of 4 or more. Temperature: 75-82ºF, pH 6.8-7.3. They will accept most food but like live or frozen. They like plenty of hiding spots.

One of my favorite loaches! A little to expensive at my LFS to get a group of 4 though, which they should have at the least.

We don't have those in the LFS, but guess what, I found them at wal-mart as fish of the month

I hate buying fish at wal mart, but I had to get some.... they are awesome
