Captive breeding in Germany has proved that C115 and C116 represent the same, very variable species. Lineage: Placed in Lineage 1. and when there is a revision they will stay as Corydoras (Lacépède, 1803) with the type species of C. geoffroy La Cépède, 1803. As of the latest update (Dias et al 2024), Corydoras fullleri has been placed in Lineage 1 and has retained the genus name of Corydoras. Aquarium Care: As this is one of the longer snouted species it will be well suited to most community tanks. A well planted tank with a soft substrate such as sand so they can bury their snouts while searching out food. Diet: Readily accepts a mixed and varied diet which includes granular foods, tablet food, frozen bloodworm and a good quality flake. Remarks: C115/C116 has now been described (2021) by L. F. C. Tencatt S. A. dos santos H.-G. Evers and M. R. Britto in honour of the owner of Corydoras World Ian Fuller, and all the ongoing work he has accomplished to the sub-family Corydoradinae.
