cory leopardus

A large growing and intricately patterned catfish, the Gomez Cory (Brochis gomezi) is found in the Amazon basin around the region where Brazil, Colombia and Peru come together. Like most cory catfish, they are peaceful, hardy, and best kept in groups due to their schooling nature. Because of their larger adult size than most of their relatives, this species makes for great bottom feeders or dithers in aquariums with medium South or Central American Cichlids or other predatory fish which aren’t large enough to try to make a meal of them.
