i keep my male all by his lonesome in a 20 gal. and i keep 5 females in a 75 gallon.
The most i personally would put in a 20 gal would be 2...

IMO i think a 20 gal is enough for three leopards but that would deffinetly be the maximum.

I generally find 1 leo per foot. EG: 5 ft tank = 4-5 leos MAX.

You probably shouldn't be keeping leos of different sizes together... the little ones get picked on.
I keep two in a 35L but you could probably keep 2 in a 20gal. MOST is three but i'd stick with two.

I've kept two females in a 20g once. Right now I have a male and a female that won't live in a 40g! She's tried to kill him twice, so I gave up and now they both have their own cage.
Cheers,

Mixing sizes in the same enclosure is generally considered a no-no, but I suppose there's an exception to every rule and maybe your combo is working for you. I'd be too worried that the big one will bully the smaller ones, or hog most of the food. If the bigger one is male, there's always a chance he might try to mate with any smaller, just barely maturing females.
Ideally the big one should be removed, and the younger ones separated if any of them seem to be males. I'm not picking on you, just adding my two cents (which I know wasn't asked for, but ... )
