Why You'll Love Them:
Leopard Corydoras are fantastic additions to community aquariums.

Their unique spotted pattern gives them a striking “leopard” look that stands out in any setup.
These fish thrive in groups and display their best behavior when kept in schools of 5 or more—you’ll often see them darting around together or resting side-by-side.

Feeding:

Pro Tip: Always acclimate slowly and keep in groups to reduce stress and bring out natural schooling behavior.
