On the ventral side of the clwon loach he has two pairs of fins and one single fin before the tail fin. I know one of these fins is called the caudal fin but which fin is that and what are the names of the other two fins ?

Thanks for the help everyone and I do so humbly appologize for the writting in caps earlier when I first join the forum !! Thanks for the warm words and good information from those of you who chose to talk to me ! I really do appreciate those jestures alot !

Here's one from Planet Catfish.

The fin you were asking about is the anal fin.

The caudal fin is the tail fin. The single un-paired fin prior to the caudal fin is the anal fin.
