I'm going to have to agree with ben on this one. That is pterodoras granulosus. I say this for a couple of reasons, while the resolution and quality are not so good that fish looks just like granulosus. Secondly i live in colorado and over the last year or so these fish have been all over the place. Almost as common as the spotted and striped raphaels.

Ya its been hiding like 1/3 of its time but the rest it swims all over my tank. It took out like 10 goldfish to when I feed my fish today

not the one in the video but looking at pterodoras granulosus that's it. No mistaking it now. interesting fish but ugly as hell

definitely looks like some sort of raphael cat

Watch your temperature. Ive heard that they struggle with higher temps. Id try and keep the water around 78 if you dont already. I love these guys but have had terrible luck with them as of late. Good luck hope you get yours to truely monster size.

i reckon granulous too although it seems a little dark for a granulous?
