I Think My Barbs Pregnant

[smokeyjo]

As the title says my barb looks a lot bigger than the rest of my shoal
I can't upload a picture as I'm on fone but its stomach is round and hanging really low I'm unsure what to do. I don't want to put her ina tank on her own as it will stress her out but I want the fry to hatch if she is pregnant sorry I cany get a pic up

Gravid, not pregnant barbs lay eggs, they arent livebearers.

She probably is full of eggs but if you have other fish in the tank, they were most likely be eaten right away...

In a community setting any eggs will be eaten. Seperate if you had planned to breed them. If not, just leave her and the rest of them to it.

Ok I've got a spare tank that I intend to use for breeding should I move the whole shoal together or at intervals?

keep constipation and internal parasites in mind before you assume its going to give birth.

And overfeeding.
