I have a pair of Tinfoil Barbs who look like have spawned, the female looks like she is carrying the eggs. She is eating well and very active. Im going to switch them to a different tank with no other fish and once she releases the eggs and he fertilizes them I will remove the parents. This is a first for me, I have been keeping freshwater fish for 25 years and never had Barbs spawn before. I guess we will see how this goes.
 
Your Tinfoil Barbs have not spawned, since they are not mouthbrooders. Are you sure they are Tinfoil Barbs?

(FYI, mouthbrooding fish fertilise the eggs before they take them into the mouth).
