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. 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. UPDATE:
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.
