Help me please!

My misbars lay eggs regularly also but this last time it look like a small gold ball I. The belly of the female right before she laid eggs which I was worried but two days later she was fine and there were a new set of eggs so I guess it was her being pregnant. Yours look more like the entire fish is bloated rather then just in the stomachs area like mine were but hope it is only her pregnant

I hope this is from her been pregnant!

She is also breathing heavily

Wow I’ve never seen anything like that. Epsom salt couldn’t hurt, I agree with @Tahoe61

I'm curious if she is constipated. Has she pooped lately? I would try adding some cooked peeled peas with her food. It would help with constipation

Cooked peeled peas? Human food;Woot
How do I prepare this? Just boil the peas?
Can the other fishes eat as well? This will not harm them?

You can technically cook then let cool and peel, some just peel and feed. It's perfectly fine for fish... it's like a fish laxative. It will not hurt any of the fish...I like mashing mine up and just adding to normal food.

Good to know! I will get some tomorrow. Hopefully she will eat it

If she doesn't, u can mash it like I do to some food and add garlic to it for an attracting agent. You could add some vitamins to it as well...like selcon....

Raw peas, not cooked. Mash the raw peas and feed. This is good for swim blatter and and may work

Gas Bubble Disease? https://www.advancedaquarist.com/2014/8/fish

^^ This would be my guess as well. I don't think this is because she's pregnant or constipated. Read below (taken from article above):

It sounds like your tank underwent an acute gas supersaturation event. Gas supersaturation can occur any time the pressure of dissolved gases in water becomes higher than atmospheric pressure.

When fish breathe this supersaturated water, the dissolved gases may leave the bloodstream and form air emboli (bubbles): gas bubble disease. These emboli occur in a variety of tissues, ranging from the eye to gills, along with internal organs such as the heart and swim bladder. In acute supersaturation, you may also see emboli in the gill lamellae, opercula and around the mouth. Additionally, ‘silver lines’ (which are actually long gas bubbles) may be visible between the fin rays.

The clinical signs of gas bubble disease include abnormal buoyancy (which you’ve noticed already), caused by excessive gas in the swim bladder; abnormal protrusion of the eyes, or exophthalmia (the swollen eyes you mention), and often sudden death (your massive die-off), due to an embolus in the animal’s heart.
