Today one of my angels looks like its belly is a little bloated. I was worried that it might be bloat, but it still is active and has a hearty appetite. I haven't fed them anymore than I normally do (enough that they can finish in about 2 minutes), and the water parameters are normal. Could it be pregnant? I thought maybe constipation, but i thought that they usually lost their appetite with constipation, as well. Thanks.
 
She could be with eggs. I wasn't sure the first time either.....my Angel looked like she swallowed a marble. A few days later one of my plant leaves was full of rows of eggs.

Is there any aggression? If there is, it's she's probably carrying.

sounds like she is getting ready to lay. I have a female that looks like that.. very large.. last time she did that she laid hundreds of eggs and had hundreds of fry..unfortunately they all disappeared.
this is the pair I want to try to raise the fry(wildXdomestic)
 
i think the tube is starting to show. it's hard to get a good look at her, because whenever she sees me, she starts darting around like i'm going to feed her. i'll try a partial water change and see what happens.
