I have a catfish emergency!

One of my bristlenose catfish is not being herself! She has expanded in size (towards the belly) and is sitting in one spot and not moving or barely moving. I don’t think she is eating either, when it’s feeding time all the other catfish go crazy and suck everything but not her. She is not hiding just sitting on top of the filter all the time. Is it possible that she is pregnant? Mind you she never had babys before.

I had one of the catfish die of a similar problem, I am posting this in the emergency as I made a mistake posting it in the catfish forum and didn’t get solution straight away.
Previous case with photos

Please ask me more detailed questions I will be able to answer them, I need a suggestion or a solution ASAP
 
Good luck. :( I found my bn dead in the tank the other night and his belly was fat and his bottom was pooched out (or hers? I don't know if it was male or female). I only had it for a week though.
 
must be a common problem, i've had this one for a while wouldnt want to lose rer.

The ones with long bristles are males the ones without bristles are girls :thumbs:
