fat rasbora

My white tetra do this. I have two that are fat and the rest are normal. They are pigs and they have been this way for months so they are not what I would say sick, just healthy over eaters. Feeding time I have watched and they pig out more then the rest.
I'm saying the female is a plump ripe female that is full of eggs. Are you planning on breeding her?
I didn't plan on breeding my rasboras but I heard it is hard to breed harlequin rasboras. The rasbora isn't as big as it was before. It's still fat but not as bad. I might just starve the whole community tank tomorrow. It won't hurt to starve the whole tank tomorrow would it?
Is this an "Other Monster Fish"? But your right, its just a female full of eggs. I have breed harlequins and hengelis (similar rasbora). Recommend you collect rainwater and use a tank that gets morning sun. If you need an additional trigger, mix a handful of rich healthy dirt into a header tank, mix thoroughly and let it drip into your breeding tank overnight. 2 males to a female if possible over bottom spawning mops or marbles. Start a green water culture asap and a banana skin infusoria culture as soon as you see eggs.
Is the other rasbora I have a male? What if I just have 2 females? Will the rasbora still lay eggs if there isn't any males in the tank?
Yeah the other is a male. If you want to breed them, why dont you get a few others? The more broodstock you have the more selection there is and the better chances you have. Do you have the breeding tank and growout tanks?
Perhaps you should just enjoy watching them in your community tank.

I wasn't really planning on bredding them at all. The Rasbora is still kind of fat. I do plan on getting more rasboras soon. How many would you suggest I get? I was thinking of getting 2 more and then I'll have 4 or would I need to get more than that?
