They're called the Burmese Border Sand Loach. Pet stores sometimes get them in as Red-tailed Zebra Loaches.

Congrats TurbineSurgeon....
I stopped by The Fish Gallery today to see if they had gotten in any of the Polypterus delhezi they keep threatening to get in for me. No such luck, unfortunately. They didn't even have any fancy Botia at all (one B. modesta and a bunch of Clown Loaches).
The Botia kubotai that I picked up are doing great but they're sure hiding a lot. Oh....if you want any of those Botia robusta, they still have a few nice ones at Boutique Pets. They're supposed to be looking for some Botia striata for me too!

I still want some batik loaches. If I ever see them I am sure I will be unable to resist 
There were some incredibly cute Noemacheilus scaturigina (Dahli ring loaches) a while back at Petsmart that I nearly bought. Just no room for them. There were also some tiny, tiny, tiny clowns at a LPS the other day. I think they were about 1/2", practically fry (at $3 ... eek). They were so small they didn't look like they would survive
I also ended up with a B. splendida (I think that's what he is) when we bought some skunk loaches. He is about 4 times the size of the skunks now.
