Corydoras fulleri, formerly identified as C116/115,[1] is a tropical freshwater fish belonging to the subfamily Corydoradinae of the family Callichthyidae native to South America where it is found in two tributaries of the río Manuripe and a tributary of the río Madre de Dios, rio Madeira basin, Peru.[2] It lives in a tropical climate in water with a temperature range of 22–26 °C (72–79 °F).
Corydoras fulleri is distinctive owing to it having two pores within its supraorbital canal, three series of teeth on the upper tooth plate of the branchial arch, and, a small fleshy flap at the corner of the mouth, ventral to the maxillary barbel.[2] It has a well developed and conical snout which frames a slightly concaved head shape from the tip of the snout to the anterior nares. Males will grow in length up to 7 centimetres (2.8 inches), while females will reach around 7.5 centimetres (3.0 inches).[3]
It feeds on worms, benthic crustaceans, insects, and plant matter.
Etymology
Corydoras fulleri is named in honour of Ian Fuller, an aquarist and owner of Corydoras World, a website and knowledge base dedicated to corydoradine catfish.
