Hard to say. Can you post a pic...make a few posts, I think it's 5 or 10 you need to have. I'm guessing she's just full of eggs. Does she eat? Poo?
But adding new fish can introduce diseases. Are they all tetras? I thought danio when you wrote "glowfish" but that's just because those were the first "glows" I saw several years ago.

Yes she looks and acts just like she has for all the time ive had her.theres also 2 mollies, a swordtail,3 cories,and a pleco. i dont think it has anything to do with other fish

Are your new glowfish the same species of tetra? She looks like a normal female "skirt" tetra to me. Sometimes females need some males to get "in the mood". Does she eat well? Looks like she does, lol.

I can't tell the gender of the blue 1 yet.

yes i have a green and blue the same size. same species. she eats the same as the other glofish. (when the sinking food comes to her she sometimes eats it.the three stick kind of together,so if one doesnt go to eat,the others dont. she is bigger because i have had her much longer

blue is staying with pink but green is kind of lingering off.Looks like pink doesnt care so much about the others cause shes behind a plant, while the others are near the filter

She looks like a "ready" female & looks like she favors the young mr. blue. But green could also be male, she may be fickle...or more interested in food for now. Do you have any plants (real or fake)? That will help too.
