Botia Loach?

Edit: No, that's not it. Striata loach, looks like anyway.

Edit edit: Ok, sorry, add them together. Botia Striata, or zebra loach, or striped loach. Man, I hate common names... Closest guess anyway, doesn't look exactly right, a bit faded and a bit spotty rather than stripy.

Looks like a red fin tiger loach. Hard to tell with pics.

Yes it's a Botia Loach, probably "Syncrossus Helodes".
It's a variety of Tiger Loach.
There's an outside chance its a Berdmorei Tiger Loach, "Syncrossus Berdmorei". Not too common.
Either way both Tigers are awsome Botias, but can be "very" aggressive. Heres a pic of my Berdmorei Tiger.20180826_084738.jpg

My Berdmorei Tiger is a little over three inches, and has grown about two inches this past year. I'm guessing he might make it to six to eight inches.
Years ago I had a Group of Helodes Tigers. They grew very fast and got very mean. I re-homed them after about a year.
They all grew approx. Four inches in a years time.
 
What are they aggressive towards? Theyre own species? He’s in my Oscar tank with 2 albino o’s 4 silver dollars and a massive dojo loach and a 11” chocolate pleco
