Hi L190, so the leleupi I've had are aggressive in smaller tanks (like when I housed them in a 55 gal) but most of the time they will chase, nothing major probably just minor territorial disputes and then they go their own way after flaring up, fun to watch them zoom all over the tank..catfish...

Hello Ali, Yes MV is nice and quiet, I'm originally from SoCal (San Diego) so I'm not a country boy but living out here is def different than city life. Some neighbors have farms, others are neighborhoods teaming with children. Hobart is just up the road, actually the owners of the blue Sierra...
