HI i need help!

Question
Hey i have a fish tank with tiger fish or tiger barbs, the ones you get at WALMART And she looks pregnant. how would i know if she was. And also If it is does it lay eggs or live birth? Hope you can help!

Answer
Hi Cody,
 Those would be tiger barbs (which are very different than tiger fish).  Tiger barbs are egg layers, i.e., they do not get pregnant as such and do not give birth to live babies. The female lays the eggs on plants and rocks and the male fertilizes them there.
