I agree with Richard B. Face structure, scute size and plate design looks like Centrodoras Brachiatus to me. Here's a pic of mine for comparison.

Thanks much, Richard and Kolt.

What do you think of the price, Kolt? Seems excessive but they are quite rare, aren't they?

No problem Viktor, glad I could help. They're very rare in the trade as far as I know but yes IMHO it's a bit excessive. I bought mine from Rapps at 10 inches for $137 including shipping. If you're are interested I could talk to Jeff and see if he can get some in for us. I recently lost mine to unknown causes. Jeff said he was hesitant about bringing them in because they don't sell well. I believe it took him over a year to move 10 of them. Still he was willing to bring them in for me. So if you're interested we can probably work it out with him.

I am not that interested in smallish Doradids but I appreciate the thought. I thought you had more than 1, looks like I thought in error. I'd like to email you my rearranged database so you'd have a better idea of what I am interested in. I have just sent you a test email.
