Hello,
I recently started out a tank that's currently housing 7 tiger barbs, a few snails, and a bristlenose pleco.

I noticed today one of my barbs is looking a little plump. Anyone able to tell if its egg bearing or just bloated? Haha (hard to get a good picture cuz these little buggers are quick!)

If she is still eating aggressively, most likely just becoming more loaded with eggs. If her face turns red, she's a male and that's bloat.
As to what to do, please read my thread at the top of the forum ( Is my fish pregnant?) (y)
