The Leopard Corydoras are peaceful and active in a softwater tank. They blend well with other community fish and stay healthy with proper water conditions. Easy to care for and very attractive.

They thrive in a stable environment with soft water and moderate temperature. The coloration is vibrant and they enjoy the bottom of the tank. A good addition to a community aquarium.

I’ve kept them for over six months and they show no signs of stress. The tank water parameters are maintained within the recommended range. Very active and curious.
