how can you tell what sex rosy barbs are and can you breed them :cool:
 
Yes The males arre 'rosy' the females are silver and deeper bodied.

Breeding is easy enough, the eggs are sticky so you need fine leaved plants.

They will breed in the community tank but will eat the eggs.

I once got a dozen eggs from the community tank as I saw them breeding on a plant and removed it quick.

The offspring were great but sadly all died within 18 months. Probably because they did not like the hard tap water I had at the time or maybe 80F was too hot for them.
