She looks egg laden. Do you have any males in the tank with those females?

actually my parents got her from the fish store with some other cherrys. the head lady at the fish store knows what she is doing so i doubt she would sell me a sick fish. This cherry has been this big for a few weeks (she came pretty big) and i'm not very good at identifying fish genders unless they are bettas

With cherry barbs it's easy. The males are bright red. The females are duller. The fish in that pic are females.
