Fish identification

[McEve]

Some time ago there was a request for an identification of a catfish. I
can't find the post, but I'm hoping somebody might remember it, or recognize
it from the description.

It's a catfish which has a body that looks like a banjo from underneath when
sucking on to the glass. The area of the body that stick to the glass is
shaped like an 8 - or might look a bit like a snail. It's got a a fairly
flat body and short tail - it's main characteristic being that it's got a
rather large part of the body stuck to the glass.

Anybody able to help out?

If it's not a Banjo catfish, as Billy said, then maybe a "Hillstream
Loach".
