Corydoras leopardus are peaceful and social bottom-dwellers that prefer living in groups. It's recommended to house them with similarly tempered species to avoid stress. They require a substrate that won't damage their barbels, and finely grained sand is often the best choice. Regular partial water changes are critical to maintaining water quality.
