Breeding and Keeping Betta Macrostoma

Here are some suggestions on how to successfully keep and even breed betta macrostoma. This betta can be kept in pairs as long as they have a decent size aquarium. A 40 gallon tank is ideal. This gives the male and female plenty of room to get away from each other when one or the other is a touch moody. Provide plenty of places for them to hide. The more places you have for them to hide, the safer they feel and the more you will see them. We prefer using driftwood with java moss and java ferns growing in the aquarium and on the wood.r

Responsibility: Why Do Some People Say 'You' Instead Of 'I'?

When someone talks about something they have been going through or how they currently feel, there is the chance that they will use the world ‘you’. This means that the word ‘I’ is unlikely to be used. So even though one is talking about themselves, it can come across as if they are talking about someone else. And even though this is taking place it doesn’t mean that one is conscious of this fact; it can be a habit and something they do without knowing.
