Hi,
I have noticed that my Female Tiger barb has become considerably bigger in the last 24hrs. its 'stomach area' has become swolen. She doesn't seem to have an problems swimming or feeding, there are no protruding scales so its not dropsy. The Male was chasing her yesterday frantically about the tank, although I have not seen the male do any head standing. Could this mean she is carrying eggs? The male has also developed a very bright 'nose', which again points to him being in spawning condition. I just want to make sure that it is not anything serious.
Thanks,
|

OK an update
The two tiger barbs have been 'kissing' well biting I think ech other mouth to mouth. The normal Tiger Barb (female) has become very dark, almost bronze
I'm getting worried about this? is this normal?
Please can some help.

I don't know tiger barbs very well as I've never kept the nippy little beasts. However, sick fish are usually inactive rather that fiesty and sparring. If nobody else comes along and says otherwise, my best guess is that you're witnessing spawning behavior.
