Something went wrong with your photo upload, but I do have a ~7cm male Aborichthys elongatus, "Mr Squidgy" has been with me since June 2010 (thanks to "Vickyandkev" on the forum, who did have an an account with  Wholsale Tropical in Fareham). They are sometimes given the common name Indian Red Tail Squirrel Loach.
 
Edit: I opened the content in a new window and I suspect it is a member of the Schistura genus, but as to which species, I cannot say right now. Regardless, it is a rather odd to have a loach from reasonably swift waters (which give excellent oxygen levels that are necessary for "hillstream loach") combined with Rift Valley cichlids!
 
Yeah, this is just a grow out tank for my fry...no adults in there ;)
