Tiger Barb Turning Blackish Green?

[tricky-z]

I got all my tiger barbs when they were small (between .5" and 1") that was a little over 2 months ago. they are now around 1.5" to 2". about a week ago one of my tiger barbs and only one has started to turn blackish green. It has also goten a bit rounder than the others. i've aken a close look and it's scales are not protruding, it's just fat. it swims normally and there is no change in it's behavior. why is this one tiger barb turning blackish green?

side note: i do partial water changes ever 5 days. ammonia and nitrites are 0. nitrates are below 5. pH is 7.6 . 60 gallon tank

Well definitely looks like a female full of eggs. The color is pretty normal, I've seen tons over the years with similar colors. Nothing to worry about.
