All fish in the tank are healthy. Water parameters are good. Everyone is eating well.

Welcome, sorry should have put that out first. I am going female after the new pic, but something does not look good with her, she looks bloated or egg bound.

She did just eat a nice big meal. She's not always so round

She is with others. But no real tank aggression. I stressed her a little wiping the outside of the tank down before pictures. Plus she hates the camera
