kristarockstar Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 For egg layers you'll need a male with the female http://suite101.com/article/how-to-breed-odessa-barbs-a326442 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Znaika Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 It sounds like you need to start with a good book. This one will do, for example: http://books.google.ca/books?id=jM1eJxj_fwUC&printsec=frontcover The hardcopy is available from Calgary public library (central branch) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) When I got into aquarium when I was 10 years old my favorite book was Aquariums for Dummies. A good basic overview, and you could research further into the areas you were interested. Yes, the eggs will be big enough for you to see with the naked eye, but actually spotting them can be tough. Barbs are egg-layers and are a bit more difficult to breed than livebearers (guppies, platys, swordtails, etc).
