Ovipostor and rosy barbs

Today i read that if a female betta (siamese fighter) is ready to spawn their ovipositors protude. An ovipostor is the egg laying organ that is found near the anal fin. And it seems like a universal name for any animals that lay eggs.

Read more about rosy barbs

The Rosy Barb has one at the moment and its protuading. Im noty sure if that means shes ready to spawn or i just have a very fat fish on my hands.

But if it hasnt spawned, then i have to find her a male, as i figured if the others hadnt gotten her pregnant yet then there must be still time.

So how do i find a male rosy barb? no idea. to be honest. Ill be off to SS to have a chat with the fishy people.
