Gonna try this in a couple days.

so, yesterday i got about 50 tilipia and put them in a half of 400 gallon tank. i have a small submersible pump about 250gph. i had about thirty cuscurub in there but they were gasping for air so i bought the pump hoping it could stimulate the water a bit. btw only the small tilapia is there now. the guy i bought the tilipia from said i shouldnt mix any other fish with it, even though i wanted to buy a mamatater. any advice guys?

Today my 1000gl water tank burst from the underneath an I thinkig to cut it an Throw in some fishes but any idea in patching it ?

NOT fibreglass...pressure will slough it off....
Rotoplastics (or Century Eslon ?) hve a contractor guy who they send to your place to assess & repair damaged tanks. He's 'expensive'...usually $400 & up...to repair a tank, but does a good job.
might be worth yr while to give them a call

you've got to put in an air line.........
'cuscurub' is a cichlid ...tilapia cousin...no probs living together along with a couple 'mamatater'....
u need a second 400-gal tank to divide that many tilapia half per tank - a 400-gal will only grow out approx 25 fish to table size & that is under optimum conditions of feed/water quality....
the bucket filter system is good....one per tank (or TWO if u r ambitiously conscientious )

not those 'collapsed' tanks that they cut in half & sell....they actually making items called 'Aquatanks' in various colours/sizes...I took a green 380gal item to connect to my recirculating system as a reserve tank.....there are bigger sizes...this green one cost $499 (I think).
Pay them a visit & see the items to properly decide what u want to do.

basically, if u don't hve a battery backup setup, u just have to say yr prayers for current to come back QUICK !!!
If u aerating efficiently enough, they should be relatively safe for about 4hrs - don't keep inspecting them to see if they're o.k. because the movements will only agitate them, then they use up scarce oxygen, begin to suffocate......vicious cycle...

Ok buy any idea of what I should has or do in that case ?

a 'battery pack' (jumpstarter)& inverter (cheapest because it's only the airpump) to run your air pump is sufficient.
or
