Hi all

I have 7 rosy barbs and told all were male but there is one that is a bit more colourless and seems to have the others chase it. Have I ended up with 6 males and 1 female here?

Affraid so, the top Rosy very much looks like a female.
Pale colour, bit plumper round mid section and has no black marking on top fin
 
Oh god help this little girl, these boys are going crazy for her!!

They can pester the females a little. My Odessa and Cherry barbs like playing chase but i have more females to spread the chasing out.

Could you return the female at all? Or have room to even the numbers out?
 
No it’s all good, I will keep her. She has adapted to my tank nicely. She will just have to put up with the crazy boys.
