Generally, female barbs are larger in size than male barbs. Also, male barbs tend to have brighter colouring, especially in the case of Rosy and Odessa barbs. During breeding season, males and females should be easily distinguishable because males will turn a darker colour and females will swell, ready to lay their eggs.
