A little over a month ago I posted a thread asking advice on breeding tiger barbs. [Only Registered Users Can See Links.]
I put the male and female into a ten gallon with a few plastic plants and a large flat rock. The barbs swam around for a while but they didn't seem to be flirting to me. I left them in there for about 3 or 4 days and then took them out because i couldn't spot any eggs. I kept my eye on the tank for the next few days to look for small fry on the bottom but never spotted anything so I stopped looking altogether. For the last month the tank has had no light, no filtration, no food and about a fifth of the water has evaporated. Today I went to go empty the tank and clean it and to my great surprise there were two fairly large and healthy looking barbs!!
