Those pictures are very blurry but they look like most likely some type of hillstream loach, possibly some sort of gastromyzon. They are river fish that need cooler water and a lot of current.

Those pictures are very blurry

Do you have a macro mode on your camera? It usually has a logo of a little flower. This will help you focus on them when they are close up. Also I find it best not to use any zoom. If you light the room well then the shutter speed will be faster and the blurring less. I think there's a pinned topic about how to take photos in the member's photo section.

Good Luck

Think your right about it being a gastromyzon, TammyLiz, as web search brought up some similar species.

Big thanks for that, as this gives me a starting point.
