sharn Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 possibly. depends what its from really. could be from fighting or it could be a sign of a bacterial infection. how is it acting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted April 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 acting normal no fighting. I PMd amazonian and he said it will be getting ready for spawning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharn Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 ahhh, that would make sense, i remember reading about their lips going red or something when spawning a while back. good to hear its nothing to worry about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon1990 Posted April 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 DOes anyone no if a 32L (8 gallon) tank is efficient for raising tiger barb fry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBlade86 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 A guy I bought some baby Tiger Barbs from told me that the best way is you put some plants at the bottom, and some netting. That way, when the Tiger Barbs spawn and leave their eggs in the plants they cant get to it and eat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 I have bred them three ways. 1 In a bare tank and remove the parents before they eat the eggs 2 In a bare tank with marbles on the bottom so they can't eat the eggs 3 In a baretank with stainless steel mesh off the bottom so they can't eat the eggs. Your tank would be big enough to spawn them in but you would need bigger tanks to grow the fry out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 I would try one male and one female and see how it goes. I used to seperate the sexes to condition the females up-- you will get more eggs that way. Sometimes if you have two females one will lay and the other eat. They do that with aggressive drivers like killies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
