I currently have 5 tiger barbs, 3 males and 2 females, and both of the females have abnormally large bellys. I only feed every two days with a diet consisting of flake food, pellets, and frozen brine so i dont think its overfeeding. If you need a picture to be sure i can post one but for now any suggestions? they are still very active just like the other 3 and very playful.
Pregnant barbs?

here are a few quick photos, if you guys need better ones let me know. They are hard to get to stay still. 
barbs don't get pregnant they are egg layers, the females might be full of eggs and ready to breed.
or they are eating allot, try fasting them for a day or two and see if they slim down.

Just a suggestion, but you might want to get a couple more females. I have about 30 tiger barbs and when in breeding mode the males will run the females ragged chasing them around. Also they will eat the eggs as fast as they are laid if you are trying to breed. I try to keep two females or more to every male.
