Sam's 2 new aquariums each hold exactly 200 gallons of water. One aquarium will hold small fish and the other will hold large fish.

He will buy 5 small fish for every 10 gallons of water in the aquarium
He will buy 8 large fish for every 40 gallons of water in the aquarium

What is the total amount of fish Sam will have and what is the ratio of small fish to big fish?
