Rosy Barbs Question?

[hexed]

I have a few pics of my Rosy Barbs. I think the female is full of eggs but not sure. I honestly don't know much about these fish so any advice is most welcome :)

The first 3 pics are of the female which looks like she is ready to explode. It was difficult to take cause they do not stay still at all! The last is the male and was the best I could get cause he is fast!

Frank, I think you are right she is gravid. Keep a careful eye on her though, barbs can sometimes get egg bound. Neutral water and temps around 78-80f are fine and they are best in groups of six or more ime. Lovely barb, one of my favourites. For breeding its 1 male to 2 females, but they will eat the eggs so once they are laid remove the fish. Feed the fry crushed flake or bbs and up the w/c's. They hatch in a day or so.

hth,
