just a quick question man, if you have that many fish, how do you feed them?do you feed them all at once by just tossing the food in there , or give everyone his portion of the specific food you feed them to ensure everyone gets an equal meal? coz I plan to have a tank like this in the future...the very distant future that is..

I feed the fishes once in the morning when I wake up and once when I get back from work in the evening.
The arowana eats everything except the dry pellets and frozen bloodworms. The rest of the fishes know when it is feeding time and will be out from hiding and feed on the food.
It is great to have a tank like this, especially after a hectic day at work. It helps you to relax and forget about life's worries for a moment. However, it is important that you get the support and understanding of your wife as you will spend more time tending to the tank than your children. My wife still grumbles from time to time :)
 
Yeah bro I understand that..It is great to have a beautiful tank like that to clear your head and get your mind off things a bit..as a nursing student it is very hard keeping up with my schedule..Tanks like these do wonders for a stressed out person..too bad all I have is a 15 gal. bare tank w/ a gourami..but just watching the fish swim blissfully helps a lot in calming my nerves..Keep up that awesome tank man!! hopefully I will have one of those some day
 
you will bro ... concentrate on your studies and graduate first. You can have whatever tank you want once you have a stable career.
