Looks like a Haworthia or a tiger aloe, a little small to tell right now, cute!

Looks like a zebra plant to me

Haworthidopsis limnifolia! Or “Fairy’s washboard.”

They prefer a well-draining, gritty soil mix — at least 50:50 pumice/inorganic material to potting mix. And water only when soil is dry and plant shows visible signs of thirst (deflated leaves, rosette starting to close up).
