Care and observations

The Glass-Shattering Impact: They accelerate to top speed in a fraction of a second. If you startle them by turning on the room lights too fast, they will panic, dart forward blindly, and smash into the tank glass at 35 mph. They will either snap their own neck, obliterate their snout, or literally shatter the aquarium glass causing a massive flood.
