this is Mr.Loaches, i have had him for over a year, and my friend had him before that, is is around 4 inches long, has a white scaless belly, and on his sides the striped pattern continues, on his sides, he has tiny scales, but his belly does have no scales at all, he has orange barbels, and a dark stripe running from his nose all the way to his tail on both sides.

he is full grown, can be very nippy, and has to have alot of caves to be comfortable, i keep the back of the tank with rocks, so he can move all over, but doesnt need to come out, but he is more likely to come out with this setup.

Very hard to tell from a top shot pic. Maybe a side view would help us.

In the mean time, you might try looking at this site and see if you can find your fish;
