My Oscar who is 5 years old and 10" has a bloated stomach. However recently, she has been preforming all the mating dances with my male who is now 2 years old and 9".... can a female bloat when carrying eggs? Or is she dying?
If you ever think she is bloated, feed de-shelled peas. If that doesn't work, then it could be something else like her insides are enlargened or she could have eggs. We do need pictures as soon as you can please to hep!
