Barb problem

I have a little problem with my gold barb pepper. His under side went from silver/white to yellow/orange so I thought he was a male. But last night I looked and he had a bulge in his bellie, like he is pregnate. I have no idea whats going on here.

Hmmmm....how much do you feed your fish? Maybe he just has a full belly! Someone more experienced should be along to help with your question. I hope your fish is fine.

He seems fine, maybe he was just full. I was afraid I Might have cross bred my barbs cause hes the only one of his kind in my tank.

My gold barb (as well the others that used to be with him, but have now passed on) is a huge pig. He puts a betta's appetite to shame. He will eat and eat and eat until he looks like an orange puffer. I can't put shrimp pellets in the aquarium during light hours because he'll eat the pellet. Your barb likely just ate too much, and should be fine.

I just noticed pepper has a chunk missing from his rump. I think one of my fish bit him I bet it was one of the tigers. My RTS only chases the tigers so I dont think it was her. He seems fine exept for a red rump and my sailfin molly following him. sunburst wont stop nipping at butt.
