    It is indeed a Hillstream Loach. Which species, I am not sure. You can just call it Gastromyzon sp. Whether it is borneensis, is another question altogether.

    Requires a tank with algae growth, especially brown algae. They need some sort of current, a highly oxygenated/aerated tank and cool water. If you cannot provide this, especially on the diet aspect, many tend to die from lack of nutrition.

    That looks like Sewellia lineolata instead.
