A few of the cyprinids (carp family) have barbels, including the scaled, leather, and mirror carp (which are all forms of the species Cyprinus carpio); as do the tench (Tinca tinca), and the little gudgeon (Gobio gobio).

However, it's the barbel (Barbus barbus) that you are probably thinking of.

Now I find out it's a crossword !

A 'loach' is neither carp-like nor a member of the carp family (cyprinidae).

The roach (Rutilus rutilus) is a cyprinid, appears to fit the crossword, but does not have barbels.

What is the exact clue, the number of letters, and any known letters?

noun a small river-fish of a family (Cobitidae) related to the carp, having a long narrow body and spines round its mouth.
