My second question is my gold barb full of eggs? Its fat and has black spots that werent there before the male is chasing the female around.

Female gold barbs will get gravid (full of eggs) when well fed and well cared for when mature. There's nothing to worry about! This is a good thing! Secondly, many fish are compatible with gold barbs. Most fast moving fish without long flowing fins are suitable (tetras, other barbs, etc).

Females full of eggs will have a rounded belly. If the scales start to stick out (called pineconing) then you should start to worry.

Here Is a website with some pictures. The first one is a female full of eggs.

Judy, this would be easily solved if you could post a picture

Looks like eggs to me. Nothing to worry about. You can see the lighter coloration on the underside of the belly where it is stretching to accommodate the eggs. The rest of the coloration on the body is fine and the fins look to be normal. She looks to be in good health overall.

The red on the male's belly suggests breeding coloration too.

Could you not have added these photos to an existing thread rather than creating yet another one? With regards to the fish, hard to tell as the photos are poor but they just look like normal to me.
They are egg scatterers so dont expect many if any to survive, they and their other tank mates will eat them before they have a chance.
