My initial guess is a skunk loach. Usually they'd have a dark stripe on the dorsal side and a solid stripe in front of the tail fin but he may be stressed and washed out because of being in a new tank and because it looks like he's got ich. If they've got any red or yellow in their fins, might be Yasuhikotakia lecontei, Silver loach.

I thought skunk loach as well, but was unsure because of the missing stripe. Could be a silver loach, too. They have a slight yellow in their fins, but it's hard to tell. Definitely seems like one or the other. And yeah, they definitely have ich. Good thing I put the driftwood into a quarantine tank to check for snails first!

How are your fish now? Ich can be tricky with loaches.
