Tiger barb in my aquarium has a bulged belly. It is active and swims normal. I wany to know if this bulge due to bloat or it's filled with eggs and. If it's a bloat what should be done to treat it and if it's full with eggs how should I setup it's tank so a pair fertilize the eggs and I get many of those little swimmers. Its a green tiger barb.

The area that is rounded is typical of being gravid with eggs but in the group pic, there is what appears to be " poo" coming from the anus but that could also be a worm due to it's color. Just make sure that is not the case. (y)
