What do you call this fish?

I cannot see the mouth clearly. I doubt its a barbel as I cannot see any barbules. The tail does not appear forked enough.
According to the web its a cyprinid which means somewhere along the line its related to barbel and has probably evolved along similar lines.

Suckers are essentially loaches. Not carp family but same order as carp Catostomidae - Wikipedia

I have seen US anglers catching these on YouTube and thought they looked like some kind of half way house between a Barble and a Loach, pretty cool looking fish.
On a side note, I really dislike the use of lip grippers and don't get why it's so common over the other side of the pond.

Totally agree mate,I might understand it with a tiger fish,pirhana,barracuda etc,but I believe a sucker has no sharp teeth to endanger the angler so it seems unnecessary,it may be a fashion accessory in the states.
