I have a bloated/enlarged belly on my angelfish, in both sides.
Believe it's a she from having laid eggs previusly.
The thick part of the belly and side is somewhat vertically oriented.
Has been like that for about one month. It was smaller, grew and it seems not to be growing anymore.
She behaves very normally.

Is this some kind of sickness?

It's She. Do you have other possible males?
WOuld not do any if swimming and eating noramlly! Color seems vivid and fins looks clean from pic.
 
No mating/courtship behavior at all, taking over certain area?

I would expect to see some sort of courtship behavior and at least some sign of ovipositor which I dont see from your pics.

I still say colors are vivid w/ clean fins. Gorgeous!

Hope it is not something internal!

Just moniotor for now if water parameters are w/i range.

Is she still eating well and behaving normally, active???
 
Yes there are other males, no courtship, no territory control.
Totally healthy behavior.
Will check today's feeding time.
Tank of very healthy and stable.
