It looks like a Farlowella

Does it have a sucker on it?

The trade name here in the U.S. is Needlenose Gar. They are pretty hardy, top dwellers for the most part. Not aggressive to anything they can't swallow. Definitely prefers live food. The one in your pic looks a bit too thin in the belly area. Looks like it needs a few good feedings.

Back in the day when I sold fish, they were right about $9.99 retail, for about a 5-6 inch specimen. Not sure about now.
