Callichthyidae
Leopard cory
Corydoras leopardus
Pointed snout longer than others
Brochis leopardus, the leopard cory, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging the family Callichthyidae, the armored catfishes, and the subfamily Corydoradinae, the corys. This catfish is very similar to, and often confused with, the three line cory, Hoplisoma trilineatum. The most obvious differences are that B. leopardus has a longer, more pointed snout than H. trilineatum, and B. leopardus grows larger than H. trilineatum.
