Coelacanth and other deep sea creatures care

[Kingdoffishcraft]

I'm just wondering if you guys have any pointers of caring for coelacanth or any deep sea fish. It's always been a dream of mines to care for one. I'm doing research on deep sea fish and will have to set up a system to house them. There will be multiple fish that I will be studying. I just want a few pointers of temperature ranges and diet. There's very little information on the internet. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Lol. I'm doing research of university so I got a license to collect them. I have the device that helps bring them up from the depths. But once their up here I want the best chances for them to survive.

What device? Would be interested to know. Unfortunately I don't have any idea how to care for a coelocanth, but common sense tells me that a fish that grows to that size will need a several thousand gallon (public aquarium-sized) tank. And probably a water chiller since they come from deep cold waters.

Its called subCAS. Its a chamber so deep sea fish don't pop when depreassurizing. I have some idea of temperature and the darkness. But I still some advice if any lol.

Hahaha. Yeah I'm assuming so. But who knows. Maybe someone can provide a small nudge for me to think of it from a different angle.

I guess a main aspect is to keep the tank very dim/dark to replicate its natural environment.

I think "how" is easy to answer since they probably eat like most other fish. The question is what they eat. Fish that aren't domesticated have a hard time adjusting to pellets and processed foods, so you'll have to feed him something like shrimp.
