	Tiger Barb Question
thelifeofriley Small Fry Posts: 7 Kudos: 8 Votes: 0 Registered: 09-Jun-2005	I have 7 Tiger Barb's, I got them about a week ago and they have all been swimming around together. Since last night one of them has been staying at the edge of the tank, her head pointing up. She doesn't really move from that spot and I notice her belly is fatter than usual. (I never noticed one of them being that chubby) Is this normal, is she ok? http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y243/thelifeofriley/IM003605.jpg That's the best picture I could get of her.
