Anyone know anything about cherry barb breeding? One of my female cherry barbs has a fat stomach. It sounds like she may be holding eggs. I don't have a separate breeding tank but I do have a breeding container (a container you put in the tank that the eggs/fry live in) do I put the female in there with a male? Or do I wait until the female lays than I put the eggs in the breeding container so they don't get eaten? The female seems to be just hanging out at the bottom of the tank near a plant, she's been eating well (tropical flakes, brine shrimp and blood worms) she has flat normal scales so shes not sick, right? She's also been pooping pretty good. Since she's been hanging out by the bottom, my crayfish has been going after her. Should I just put her in the breeder tank? And do I put the male with her so he can fertilize the eggs? I have 2 females and 3 males in the tank right now (15g) and I've already chosen the male I want to be the father (my biggest and prettiest) Also how long until she "pops?"
