Corydoras fulleri is a lesser-known species of Corydoras catfish. This species has not been widely documented in the aquarium hobby, and detailed information on its characteristics and care may not be as readily available as for other Corydoras species. However, like most Corydoras, it can be assumed that Corydoras fulleri shares similar traits and requirements with its relatives.

General Information on Corydoras Species

• Size: Corydoras species typically range in size from 1.5 to 3 inches (4 to 7.5 cm), depending on the specific species.
• Coloration: While the specific coloration of Corydoras fulleri is not well-documented, many Corydoras have a base color that ranges from silver to light brown, often with darker markings or patterns.
• Behavior and Temperament: Corydoras are generally peaceful and social fish that do best in groups of at least 4-6 individuals. They are bottom-dwellers and spend much of their time foraging in the substrate for food.
• Tank Requirements:
  • Tank Size: A minimum of a 15 to 20-gallon (60 to 75 liters) tank is recommended for a small group of Corydoras. A larger tank is preferable for more extensive groups or community setups.
  • Substrate: A soft substrate, such as fine sand or smooth gravel, is essential to protect their sensitive barbels while they search for food.
  • Water Conditions:
    • Temperature: 72-78°F (22-26°C).
    • pH: Slightly acidic to neutral, around 6.0-7.5.
    • Water Hardness: Soft to moderately hard water (2-12 dGH) is preferred.
  • Aquascaping: Provide plenty of hiding spots with plants, driftwood, and rocks. This setup mimics their natural habitat and provides comfort and security.
• Diet: Corydoras are omnivorous and should be fed a varied diet that includes high-quality sinking pellets or wafers, live or frozen foods such as bloodworms and brine shrimp, and occasional vegetable matter.
