The Interpretation
Mr A is a avid fishkeeper since his childhood days. The dream in his childhood home means that the habit of fishkeeping was acquired during that time.
This hobby is lately draining him emotionally. This is signified by the fishtank in the drain and the tank bursting which pours fishes and water into the dream.
True enough, a few days after the dream, Mr A had problems handling all the fishes as they have produced themselves profusely and there isn't enough tanks to accomdate all the fishes. This makes him exasperated.
