You can check out this site that I have linked below and see if you can find your fish there in the photo ID's. Its beautiful, I love the stripes that go all the way through the tail fin. Very nice! Good luck, hope this site helps you..

It looks like a Queen loach to me (botia dario) but I wouldn't swear to it.
