It's hard to say if she's holding eggs or is sick. They don't get pregnant, they lay eggs. Are her scales sticking out?

 

['-JIN-']

In a community tank, you probably won't see any fry, because the eggs will be eaten. You can do a Google search on breeding them if you want to take the time to set up a tank to breed them in.

Since the males went back to their normal color, has her stomach slimmed down?

You could not feed for a day or two, in case she has an intestinal blockage that's causing her to look fat.
