So you think I picked up another Common then?
But him and Godzilla are different color commons, then?
Can two Commons be in the same tank?

Ooh, my bad. Didn't count the dorsal-fin rays.

Your fish should be a common, like Godzilla. There is some color variation, although the spots generally tend to appear only on younger fish and fuse to form a reticulate pattern in adults.
