Since about 10 days I noticed my fish got a big mouth and hasn't eat anything also hiding in rocks. so I guessed that she's holding eggs. I separate her alone in 6 GL tank.
in the first days her mouth looked like this pic:

Is my fish holding eggs or she swallowed them ??

what about if I catch her with net and make sure of it?? is that something bothering my fish???

note: when I put her in the small tank I found her make holes in substrate and looking to the male in main tank under her tank

Looks like she has swallowed Dude...or maybe spat the eggs out?

If they are young/small/inexperienced they may swallow. Also, maybe if they are a little stressed. Looking at the pic, she still seems young though, how big is she?

Mine look through the bottom at other fish when seperated, I wouldn't worry about that.
 
Thanks bro for help
she's 2 inch in length, I just bought her since 1 month.

what can I do now back her in the main tank with the other fish?
 
Don't worry about not eating. She will when she realizes she has no fry to brood. Mine never got it right so I strip the young only when I have an order for them. Otherwise I leave it up to Mother Nature.
 
Don't mean to switch topics in this thread, but I read your tank set-up and I think your a bit overstocked... not sure about the gourami and cichlids together, have you noticed any aggression/nipping issues? I think the rainbow sharks get relatively large as well. You may need to upgrade soon (for your other tank, as well).
