Angelfish are egglayers, so it's not pregnant. Most likely a female full of eggs though by the looks of her.

Could be eggs inside OR could be a parasite. If the fish is eating and otherwise looks healthy, then it likely has eggs.

Probably eggs, you could try feeding some peas just in case.

 

[Nolapete]

Indeed, they do get constipated from time to time, so peas would be a good idea.

Yup, if the Angel gets thinner after peas then it's probably constipation. You could do regular feedings of peas for about a week to be safe.

Thanks all.
Must have been constipation, unless she neglected her eggs or hid them, she is thinner now, I'd been feeding them complete vege frozen food.
Also thought they didnt like peas, until I squashed them and removed the skin, all my fish like them.

Yah, that's how I get my fish to eat peas as well. I do regular feedings of peas with my feeding schedule anyways, you could feed peas once a week or so.
