I'm almost positive she's pregnant, it's a breeding pair of two girls and a boy. But they've been pregnant FOREVER. Roughly 2.5 months, is she ever going to give birth? Or am I doing something wrong

Thats too long to be preggers. Are you sure they dont have a parasite? What is your water tests showing? I only say that because one died after being bloated and appearing fat. Dont panic though, its not always worst case scenario. She shouldnt be sitting on the bottom though either, they usually swim near the surface and move a lot.
 
Parameters are normal, check after first one died. They've been big like that forever
