Barbs looking to pop!

[cats&fish]

Hello all,

I have a 55 gal tank and several different kinds of barbs that look like they are full of eggs. I've got males and females and have lots of vegetation and hiding places in the tank, but none of them have laid any eggs.

Any suggestions of what to do to get them to lay their eggs?

Thanks!

Ellen

Make sure that the light, water, and temperature conditions are fulfilled. Check online to see what these conditions are (since you know what types of Barbs you have). Be careful not to stress them out too much though. Forcing them to lay their eggs might do a great deal of stress on them, so continue with caution.
