So two of my tiger barbs for the last 30 minutes now have been acting strange. They seem to be nudging and rubbing against each other over and over. They are kind of vibrating when doing it. I've seen my other barbs fight for dominance before and this is different. This is much more peaceful and they are Doing it behind the drift wood and inside two of my caves... Kinda bouncing around to different areas. Are these two mating?? Should I expect baby barbs? Lol anybody have any experience with this?
 
Barbs are egg layers so the female would lay the eggs and the male would obviously fertilize the eggs but what you are seeing could very well be that I haven't seen mine do this but wait for someone with more experiance than me.
