Fish ID please?

[emilygupps]

I have a cat fish (?) with a horn like a unicorn. He is like 5-6 inches long but very skinny (my female danio is bigger around than him) his mouth is like a pleco.

A pic is worth 1000 words but I seem to have misplaced him... He is hiding in all my plants.

Got him for free from some one who was moving. Previous owner didn't know what it was called (was his gf's fish) I've never seen one before. Wanting an id if possible so I can google info on him. Thanks in advance.

Only thing I can think off that is a pleco and might appear to have a horn would be a bristle nose pleco.

Got a picture?

No I can't find him he disappeared as soon as I let him loose.
Kinda looks like this but this isn't my fish.

Change my mind it's a twig catfish.
Still really cool and cost like $20 near me.

So I think it's the farlawala cat? Sound right?

I'd say it's a lizard catfish
