I would love a Poly. Palmas. Beut... I think the del and another sen is a 100% cert..I might chance my luck and order online 
wow, good age to start
i had my first silver aro with my older brother when i was 6 lol
i remember, i was born in philiippines, they dont teach you anything in the pet shops, they just catch the silver arowana with their hands and chuck it into a bag.
they had about 100 in a small 200 litre tak lol
we changed thhe water and ddint age the water long enough, and it died, i remember trying to do mouth to mouth on it lol funny
anyways, 75 gallon US? thats 300 litres.
in my opinion, thats a tad small to have that many fish. even with your multiple 4% water chanes a day totalling to 20% whcih makes sense
you might have too many fish, or feeding them too less!
i reckon get rid of the other fish, focus on the bichirs?
but, if you do the maths, doing a 20% water change once a week will be less hassle than everyday, how much time do you spend everyday?
if you semi automate your systems with a small investments in hoses to drain and hoses to fill, i tihnk you will be pleasantly surprised that 2x 20% water change weekly isnt so hard, and that would enable you to keep all your fish.
i really dont thinktht many fish in that tank is a good idea.
whats your nitrate, nitrite and Am levels like?
by the way, awesome to see someone so young gettng into the hobby!!!

Params are all low...Never any ammonia.. Sometime there is a tad of nitrate/nitrite..But after a W/C theres nothing..
