Brochis leopardus
Species of fish
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.[2] 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.[3]
