Be warned though, you may want to use the restroom and have some snacks handy before you start.
If you want the quick answer though, you don't need much. I'd go with at least a 75g tank, but bigger would be better. As for food, you should use pellets, preferrably sinking, as a staple. You can also feed other assorted foods on occasion, such as shrimp, frozen bloodworms, frozen blackworms, beefheart, and silversides. They're pretty tolerable with temperature, somewhere around 80 degrees fahrenheit is fine, give or take a few degrees.
Hope that helps!
