Help! Unwanted fish pregnancy (tiger barbs not guppies), atleast I think

[nuchumYussel]

Hi, I have 4 tiger barbs in my 20 gallon community tank. She was
looking alot fatter so i thought maybe she was bloated. But I looked
online for pictures of a pregnant tiger barb, and IMO she looked a
heck of alot like the picture. What are some characteristics of Tiger
Barb pregnancy, if there are any? My other problem is that I would
like to try and raise the fry. I know that the fry should be put in a
tank by themselves, the only thing is that I am still in school and
don't have enough money to buy the extra tank and equipment. Is there
any way I could raise the fry in my situation? Thanks for any
responses!

barbs are egg scatters, they do not get pregnant. i find it quite unlikely you
found a picture on-line of a 'pregnant tiger barb'. try checking:
