This might be something completely different: A hilstream loach. You can see some of them here:

These two pictures should enable you to decide if your fish could be a hillstream loach. They might not be the exact species you've got, but there are quite a lot of them - and you can see most of them at:

Initially, I thought that your fish might have been Hypoptopoma:

But if you say it looks like a figure eight, then I suspect a gastromyzontine:

These are loaches, not catfish.
