We have a community tank with a range of different types of barbs and tetras, we noticed one of the rosy barbs getting particularly fat - we only have two. Thinking the female might be 'pregnant' we decided to set up a smaller separate tank to see if she would lay. She has been in there for a couple of weeks now and we are getting concerned with how fat she is. She is in there with only another male, it's a bare tank only with plants in. We are quite inexperienced with breeding and want to know the best steps forward to encourage us to save some fry.
None of the other fish has gained in size like her, we suspect we also have a pregnant tiger barb in the main tank but we don't have any additional tanks for the pair yet. We don't have any concerns of bloat as the rest of the tank is healthy and she has been in the separate tank with monitored eating.
