Fish Crazy
Hey everyone!
In my 20g, I have 9 tiger barbs that all appear to be happier than ever. Well, I've been noticing that a couple of the tiger barbs have been getting sort of a ''swollen'' tummy lately. Again, all of the fish seem to be doing excellent as far as their actions' in the tank. So I thought that maybe these two barbs are pregnant? Is this possible? Or are tiger barbs nest builders?
If it matters, I've been noticing that several of the barbs have been showing more red than usual. Like, red around their lips & nose & also all the way along the back of their dorsal fins. I was thinking that maybe they were the males and that was what they did when they were 'breeding.' Can anyone confirm what's going on with these fish? Are they pregnant or are they sick?
Wasn't sure if this was a beginner question or not , but thought this section of the forum would be a good place to start.
Thanks in advance,
BobRoss
