Breeding Rosey Barbs

[bst246]

yHi
I got a Female Rosey Barb about to pop, she is so full of eggs. I put her in a holding tank with two males. Anybody know anything about breeding these babies.
Thanks Bruce

If they are like cherry barbs then they are egg scatterers. Be careful with the males. They will chase her to death trying to mate with her. They will also eat the eggs and fry. The only ones I ever got to survive in my tank fell through the under gravel filter I used to use. She may not be pregnant, she may just be huge. The Cherry Barbs I kept the females were always huge. The males got so red and beautiful during breeding season too.

Good luck with them, let us know how it works out.
