Tiger Barb: Pregnant or Bloated?

[HondaKid]

Hi - I'm still fairly "new" to this hobby, so please help me out here.

I noticed today that one of my Albino Tiger Barbs is "larger" than normal. I feed them 2x a day (once in the morning and once at night). They're fed TetraMin Tropical Flakes. The other fish are all what I'd deem "normal" in size and proportions. I don't even know if it's a "she" but I can only guess it's either (A) pregnant or (B) bloated.

Here's a little comparison next to one of my TBs that is the same size in length, just without the extra "chunk"

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I think she's just ripe with eggs.
Barbs can't get pregers, they're egg layers.
If you've got a male in there and you're really lucky, you could get fry, but don't count on it too much.

Thanks for the info. We'll see what happens!
