You really need to clean your gravel. Even though you have a filter, it can’t clean out your gravel. Your gravel contains the majority of the fish waste and uneaten food which is polluting the water. You won’t hurt your loach if you vacuum the gravel. (you are helping it). Ruby barbs don’t give birth to live young. The female fills up with eggs and then she releases them over plants for the male fish to fertilize. They need a good bit of space to do this. In a small tank I don’t think this would happen and the male would just keep harassing her. I would recommend just taking all of your fish and their water and put them in a ten gallon aquarium.

If she does release eggs you probably will never see them They will with out a dought get eaten by all the other fish and the parents. Usually when breeding Bards of any kind larger marbles are placed on the bottom of the tank so the eggs will fall down between them and that way the parents can’t get to them. Then when the spawning is done the parents are taken out of the tank. If you really want to breed them you can set up a breeding tank for them. When the eggs hatch you will have to make sure you have live brine shrimp or some kind of fry food to feed them after about 24 to 48 hours of hatching. Good luck.
