I would go the bloat route, I guess she could have both.

I do not see any sign of holding but it is kind of hard to tell form the pics.

At any rate, I am willing to bet she is not healthy.

yeah she is definately not holding and bloat is my first opinion

get some metro and start a treatment regiment...should be cleared up in two weeks. but you may loose her.

sprry tp hear of the loss...

If it were my tank and I had a clear cut case of bloat...

I'd go ahead and treat the tank with metro.

It can spread...
when I had it I never had more than two fish showing signs, but ended up loosing about 6 fish over 2 months.

After treating with metro, I never lost another fish.

Make sure you are feeding them the right food, as feeding the wrong food is what caused my problems.
