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]
