what's her diet usually? she might be constipated - you could try feeding her a few small pieces of a thawed, frozen, peeled pea (about 50 sec in the microwave).

ill try that at the next feeding time if she is constipated after eating the pea how long will it take for the gut to go down? This way I know if she pregnat or not. Also is she does have eggs with her the pea will now hurt them will it?

oh yes and usual diet is flakes (well crushed) for colour and nutritional values and one weekly cut up bits of krill!

I'm not sure how fast peas work on the tiger barbs, but usually a day or 2 is enough to get a Betta good, unless the constipation is very extreme. Peas shouldn't be any harm to eggs. It's even a good food crushed for them when they're fry out swimming around.
