One of the most attractively marked of all Leporinus, L. granti is found throughout much of South America but remains relatively rare in the hobby, with most of the specimens imported being collected from the rivers of Suriname. More recently, this species has been tank raised in limited numbers in Southeast Asia. A large, fast-swimming, but relatively peaceful species, they make an excellent tankmate for large cichlids or characins, especially other active, fast-moving fish. As with most of their close relatives, L. granti can be prone to nip fins or scales of slower moving tankmates and can be aggressive towards conspecifics or other close relatives. Plenty of cover and strong water movement can help offset aggression in these fish.

The Eight Spotted Leporinus is a smaller growing, attractively marked species found in the Rio Xingu, Tapajos, and other middle and lower Amazon tributaries in Brazil. In the wild, it typically inhabits rocky, fast moving stretches of river and prefers clear, well-oxygenated water. Like most of their close relatives, they are best kept in groups of 3-5 or more as they are a social fish. While they can be prone to nipping fins on slow moving tankmates, this species make excellent dither fish for medium to large South American Cichlids or other fast moving larger fish.

An uncommon Anostomid found throughout several major river systems in South America, the Redfin Leporinus is a loosely schooling species similar to the more well-known banded Leporinus (L. fasciatus). In the wild, they tend to inhabit fast moving acidic waters, usually in rocky areas close to large boulders or caves and use their specialize mouths to graze on algae, biofilms, and small insects and crustaceans. In the aquarium, they do best in fast-moving, well-oxygenated water and is best kept in groups of 3 or more. Like their close relatives, they may nip fins of slower moving fish so tankmates should be fast swimmers as well.
