		<description><![CDATA[An appropriate filtration system is a must in any aquarium if you want healthy fish and plants.

		<description><![CDATA[Very broadly, fish can be roughly divided into three types &#8211; community fish, semi-aggressive fish, and aggressive fish. When you are planning your community tank, you need to decide what are the kind of fish that you want to keep, and decide on each individual species accordingly. For a community tank for instance, you would [...]]]></description>

People are finally realizing that fishkeeping is less demanding and less expensive than keeping dogs or cats, with tanks today being virtually maintenance free. In fact, there are [...]]]></description>

Take piranha for instance &#8211; they need a healthy diet of meat, as do fish like parrot fish, which could do with beef heart once in a while to retain their colors.

		<description><![CDATA[This is a question that is quite relevant and pertinent to answer. Overfeeding is a common mistake that new aquarists make &#8211; they probably get carried away by the way the fish come to the front of the aquarium and &#8220;beg&#8221; for food.
