Welcome to PC. Sounds like the common Ancistrus sp. from your description. That said, you'll get better information by posting a pic in the What is my Catfish forum. Cheers,

Hi and Welcome to Planet Catfish 
Nice to hear the better half likes catfish too hehe, that's more rare that F.acus. Please tell her that she's more than welcome here too - lots of us girlie-type-catfishionados here and more arriving everyday.

Racing, shoes and fish. Nothing else matters. Oh, and bacon.

Welcome to Planet Catfish.
Sounds like you have a male , but I couldn't say without a photo [even WITH a photo, we probably can't say 100% sure, but we'd at least be able to say that it's not something completely different, if you see what I mean].
