Definately NOT a Striata. Striatas are shorter and higher in body and their dorsal fin is not colored like that. Looks like some sort of tiger to me. Probably needs to be in a Grrr... tank

you have one of the grrrs bud, it's either hymenophysa or reversa.
my guess is the hymenophysa because of the black mark at the peak of the dorsal.

That's
Syncrossus hymenophysa, a member of the aggressive tiger loach group:

darn grrrrrr i wish shops would correctly mark fish, now my problem is i dont have a grr tank for loaches and i dont think he will last to long in my malawi tank with my convicts, if there is anyone local to the kent UK area that has room for him he is going free but untill then he is going in my Q tank as its empty at present
thanks for the ident i now gonna fish him out
