As the title says, you fish is likely to be a Hillstream Loach by your description and picture.
 
I don't now much about this fish but think they grow to about 6cm and likes well aerated and flowing water.
Don't know if they are good on its own or if needs a shoal of 6+.
Also don't know what size of tank is best for these.
 
Would suggest to you to do a bit of research for yourself through internet. Suggest start with Seriously Fish and take it from there.
 
Here's the link for that.....

Hopefully someone will help with more information about Hillstream Loaches.
 
Hope that helps a bit.
 
thats brilliant thanks a lot.
its front fins seem smaller than the photo you posted but apart from that they look pretty much the same.
i'll check the websites now.
thanks again..
 
More than welcome.

Hope its the right fish, if the fins are a bit smaller, may just mean you have a younger fish that is not fully developed like in the pics shown.
 
sounds legit :p
sorry im so useless when it comes to fish, 
i spend most days scouring websites like this trying to learn.
im just a bit of slow learner
