what pleco is this?

I went to a fish store today that was closeing down it was its last day and it had sold most things but they had 3 of these litle fish that they called "china suckers" but when I googled all I got was plumbing stuff.......
anyway these were being kept in a small plastic box with a lid on there was also 3 peppered cory cats so i bought them aswell as i didnt like the way he was keeping them in these small boxes ( he had already sold his tanks....) he had other fish in these little containers aswell tho thankfully people were buying them ( I think others were takeing pity on these poor fish also)
but I have no idea what these fish are they kinda look and act like a plec but their fins look more like skirts!!!! the pics I took arnt the best sorry but hopefully someone will be able to recognise them

I googled and just found something for you, don't know how i did it but I did! It's a "Chinese Butterfly Loach". Neat looking fish.

It's a hillstream fish, Gastromyzon borneensis or a similar species, actually a loach (not a pleco.) They mix well with non-aggressive fish, and need strong circulation in the tank to keep the O2 levels up. They have been spawned in aquariums, but nearly all you'll find are wild-caught.
