The male tiger barb (Barbus tetrazona) has more red in the snout and ventral fin than the female when in breeding condition.
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.
They induce the female cat to ovulate after mating.For the male cat the barbs serve as the most sensitive part of his penis.
Most Barbs - no. Tiger Barbs, Green Tiger Barbs and Ruby Barbs - a DEFINATE no! they will nip it to pieces! Other Barbs I'm not so sure about - do some research, but most Barbs - no!
Yes. Barbs can and will eat their own eggs, as they have no parental instinct towards their eggs or fry. Barbs will generaly eat all of their eggs as soon as they are released, and then eat remaining fry once the eggs have hatched. For this reason, if you plan on bredding tiger barbs, you should place the female and a male in a breeding tank and remove them both as soon as the eggs are laid.
I was a soldier so I dealt with both types alot. Constantina wire has sharp little squares where as razor wire has bigger razor blade shaped barbs.

It usually only hurts for the female. The male cat's penis has barbs on it in an attempt to keep out any rival sperm. When the mating finishes, the barbs rip out the flesh on the female. So yes, it does hurt.
