Can you identify?

I work at a LPS and in our shipments of ghost shrimp, we sometimes get "mystery fish".

I took two of the latest home and I LOVE THEM!!! They are the coolest!

I think they are a type of Loach, can someone else give any opinions?

looks more like a goby to me, though I have no clue what kind.

it does look like a loach, though i'm not too familiar with them so i don't know what kind. keep an eye out for ich, some of them are very susceptible to it after being moved.
