I THINK one of my female rosy barbs is trying to lay eggs, but I'm not sure. This particular fish has always been really swollen in her belly. She had Hemorrhagic septicemia last year but pulled though. Her body has always been about twice as fat as the other girls though, I dunno why. Right now, she's eating and swimming like normal, but she has a little white/clearish lump protruding from her 'region' and it doesn't seem to be moving either way. Is this what happens when they lay eggs or does she have something wrong with her? Last year some time I did notice an egg at point point in my tank, but it was gone the next day and I never knew who did it.
 
Give her some shelled peas to see if she is clogged up. They love peas.
