I have 3 climbing perch and I believe two of them are female from the looks of it, as males have a slender body. Now one of those females recently started developing a bulge in the belly. Does this mean that it's pregnant? And I'm not sure how to put it, but whenever it stops swimming around, the belly will land on the tank and the fish will be like in a 45degrees situation.

ASSUMING it is pregnant, what should I do? I moved it into a 10 gallon tank that's completely empty, but seems like nothing developed so far.

BUT, I'm not exactly a fish breeder and I can't tell the signs. So let's say that it's sick, what should I do then?
 
are you sure there are no internal parasites? check the vent for camallanus worms. I think there might be a disease here, or possibly impacted by something
