One of my female cherry barbs is HUGE. Im not really sure whats up. I mean all the females look filled up around there stamachs, but this one is just much much bigger. I guess it could be there filled with eggs, and this one is just the oldest, so thereful has the most eggs. They could also just be eating well, but none of the males (or any other fish in the tank for that matter) are as plump as the females. Or is it the 2 smaller females are eating well, but the huge one is sick?
The behavior I have noticed is fairly normal. There is some chasing between males and females, as well as males and males. I guess this could be because there full of eggs. It could also be aggression. I dont know. Sometimes they chase each other, then out of nowhere they stop. Could be there done, or could be the one being chased has decided to hide, so the other stopped since it cant find hte other. Not sure. Based on these observations, anyone have any idea whats up?
Thanks
One more thing I might mention. 0 ammonia, 0 Nitrites, 7 Nitrates, lots of real plant hiding. This might help say if spawning or not.
