Hi guys, could any of you please help me identify this coldwater fish (he shares my 10 gallon tank with some Zebras and minnows )

I realise I should know seeing as I bought him (doh ) but I can't remember what breed he is and I'm interested in knowing if he has any particular feeding needs or other requirements - he spends all the time clamped to the walls and doing very little

I think it's a hillstream loach. Also referred to as a Butterfly pleco I believe, although it's not a pleco. They are coldwater fish that like lots of current in the tank. From what I've heard they can be hard to care for because of being picky eaters.

Hopefully someone else here will know more about them than I do.
