Care and observations

The Massive Suction Vacuum: It grows so absurdly fast that it will outgrow a 500-gallon tank in a year. It has a mouth large enough to easily swallow whole Lionfish, small sharks, and Human heads. It creates so much biological waste (feces) that it will crash standard aquarium filtration systems overnight.
