Any fish with a underslung suckermouth can get labelled as a "sucker fish". The Pleco family consists of more than 800 species getting anything from 1" to close to 40". Then there are lot of other fish with that kind of mouth, including some freshwater Gobies and some types of Cyprinid like the Siamese Algae Eater. And then there are Chinese Algae Eaters too. Basically, there is no one species that is called a "sucker fish"!!
