Hi, I have a tank which is about 50litres in size, I bought a Leopard Catfish last week but have since read a lot online that says that they should be kept in shoals of around 5 fish? Is this true? Would it be ok to keep just 2?
The woman in the fish shop didnt tell me this and I wouldnt have bought it if I had known I had to keep so many of them as I dont particularly want to fill my wee tank with catfish no matter how pretty they are!

Assuming you mean leopard cory catfish like these:
