It is the Glass Loach, nearest relative are the Glass Cats, and Indian Glass fish.

Actually, if you go to the Main Site, and look up the species there is often a note about what other species look similar. There is also info about how certain species change as they mature. For example, here is the page about Botia dario:

38 tanks, 2 ponds over 4000 liters of water to keep clean and fresh.

Happy fish keeping!
