I have kept leporinus in the past.
My impression was that they were very hardy, and ate just about anything.
These fish are very agile, fast swimmers when they want to be and are difficult to catch in a net.
They are also renowned jumpers, so keep the tank covered, or they will take flight.

Hope this helped some.
