Rosy Barb Pregnant?

[Honzicek]

Yes you can but be sure to remove any uneaten food in the morning.
Your welcome.

Good luck

if my barb is pregnant how long she keep eggs inside the belly?
she is like that for 4-5 days...

I doubt it eggs but I think once she gets eggs she'll release them as soon as, not sure though.

To Be Honest the fish looks more like it has an internal parasite, that's why it looks full of eggs. The internal parasite is causing bloating in the fish. That just my opinion, the fish could actually be preganat, but I'm 99% sure that it is just bloating

If I may ask, does your female swordtail look stressed at all or does it hide a lot in the tank, as 5 males to one female is not a good ratio, the ratio that you have could potentially stress the female to death

Rosy barbs do not get 'pregnant'. They are an egg scattering species so she may be full of eggs, but without a picture (yours did not work) it is difficult to tell. It may also be constipation or over feeding that has caused the fish to swell.

[Fishy friend2]

You can clean the whole fish tank, but try not to get tap water in the filter or filter cartridge

 

[Honzicek]

the barb is dead...

 

[snake007]

Whats your water parameters?
It could of been an internal parasite which was causing it to bloat, now its died because of it.

 

[Fishy friend2]

The OP said that the fish wasn't boated anymore

 

[snake007]

But sometimes it can die down then suddenly attack again causing the fish to die.
