That's so weird.. I just posted "I got a new loach" today and need an ID.. so strange we did this at the same time. Wouldn't it be funny if they were the same species as well???

No idea in which species this is, but to me it looks like a possible Traccatichthys species. It has that certain look with the placements of the eyes...etc.

Lovely loach though! 8)
