what the heck, tiger barb jumps and hits its head on the hood??

[Xielos]

I remeber one time I looked into my tank early one morning and woke up my angel. She was so scared she darted right into the glass and knocked herself out cold for a couple seconds. She woke up after me freaking out and tapping the glass a little. :dive2:

Didn't I read somewhere that some fish will make a jump for it if they don't like the tank?

just not sure if its true though..
