Tiger Barbs spawning

[newfound77951]

Granted tiger barbs aren't exactly uncommon fish, and pretty easy to breed, but cool none the less. I have 3 males and 2 females in my 55 gallon and they have been spawning (1 female and 1 male in particular) every evening for a few days. They have now stopped, but I'm guessing will start again in a week or so. Unfortunately between the barbs themselves and the loaches (not to mention all the other fish) it's very unlikely that any of the eggs will hatch, the loaches are smart and follow them around when they are spawning, which is pretty funny to watch.

thats cool. Why not try to rescue some eggs?

I had that thought for a moment, but I don't have another tank to put them in! I know, I know, excuse for another tank, but I'm in the process of setting up a 30 gallon SW tank so that's where all my money and time are going at the moment!
