Man you have my dream tank you are so lucky you must be a millionaire or something? Is it you that's disabled? Sorry to hear that but I admire you for following your dream. I think I spotted at least one Frontosa in your tank, that's something least , I'd like some close ups of a whole shoal of them?

You should get some MBU's

I can make out about 5 large Frontosa in there are they Zaire? This video is great but it's a shame we can't hear anything you are saying

You should put bass and catfish in your 15k tank, and try to grow a world record smallmouth bass in it! the world record is 11lbs
That's a shoal of Paraneetroplus (Vieja) synspila. I've never owned schooling fish but a few of mine do shoal.

He was big. He just died two weeks ago and measured 24 1/2" total length. Wallago attacked him but did not eat him. Got him at 3 1/2" in 1998. Grew him up in the 15,000 and moved him Feb 7 2010 to the big tank. He measured 23" plus a bit on that day in 2010.

Very good eye. Not one in a hundred can identify the fish with it's correct scientific name even.
There are 2 in the tank but one is in it's last weeks.The one dying is 23" (Injured by a catfish trying to eat it) and the bigger one you are referring to was 26" when measured in 2009.
Best of luck with your guy.

Fronts are great. We counted more than 50 adults in the tank that day and probably another 50 babies 1" to 4"
