Looks very similar to whatever fish that is at top top, next to the 'Aquaria Central' logo.

A parrot fish. I think some people call it a blood parrot fish. It's a hybred.

It is an African Characin, a Distichodus species, likely D. lusosso. It gets very large, well over a foot.

It is not a hybid, nor any relation to loaches.
