Can you get a photo of the clear bubble? It could be a disease and it's definitely not a sign of pregnancy.

If the female has been in the same tank as males at any point within the last 3-9 months, she's probably pregnant too.

A prolapsed rectum can be a sign of hexamita or camallanus, aka internal parasites. What does the poop look like? Unfortunately, treatment is different depending on which one it is and all the other fish which have shared the tank with this one are probably also infected.

Apparently, hexamita can be encouraged by soft water, what is your water pH and hardness?
