i bought a female barb and she is full of eggs and i have a male which is not maybe her partner......so can they breed? can it happen in a 2.5 gallon tank since i have no choice but to place them there cuz my ponds and other bigger aquariums r already occupied...and they didn't eat anything yet since i bought them for a week already ,is this normal?

No, the barbs will not breed in a 2.5 gallon tank. You shouldn't even keep 2 together in a 2.5 gallon tank. It is not normal that they have not eaten for a week, but it's probably from being in a tank far too small for them.

you've asked the same question several times, and we'll still say NO they cannot breed in a 2.5 gallon tank, it's too small, and chances are they're too stressed out or the water parameters are wrong, and if the tank isn't heated they're too cold, so they won't eat.
