hm... looks like one of those african elephant nose fish. I think they're called morymids?

 

[GarNiac]

it may looks like it but its nose is not that long

 

[peewee]

the snout is not that long enough

 

[swede]

not the right body shape for an elephant nose either.

Thank you, i know its a mormyrid. Also, not all of them have the elongated mouths either. You might have more help posting this in the knifefish forum.
