Well, that's the common name, Blue Yellow finned Botia, scientific is Botia
Lecontei.

Just curious if anyone has one of these. I have a pair of them, aggressive
as heck. They're brave enough to chase a school of barbs, Acei Cichlids,
Large Firemouth Cichlids, large pim cats, you name it, they'll chase it. The
bigger it is, the more they chase it.
Jumpers to, wow can they hold themselves out of the water a long time
looking for a hole in the glass. They're only about 2" right now.

Actually, when I got up in the morning, all was well. They're no longer
bothering anyone, no one bothers them either. Worked out well actually,
normally any new fish in that tank takes a few days to settle in, they
settled in overnight. Tanks quite peaceful tonight.

Oh-oh. I had pined for a couple of these, searched several LFS around me
and have never found one. But your description doesn't sound like they'd
fit with the big, peaceful, happy, community family I'm trying to achieve -
so I'll stop looking I guess. Pity, because they looked very beautiful in
the picture I saw. Good luck with yours.
