Sunburst Platy Laying on Bottom of Tank

[esl97]

I have a sunburst platy in my 10 gallon that i brought home about a week and a half ago. I am not sure of the gender. For the last four days or so, she (i will assume it's a female) has spent most of her time resting against the rocks on the bottom of the tank. Her belly is slightly enlarged, so I thought she may be pregnant, but I am not completely sure it is a female. She has always been a bit shy, but I am getting worried.

Is the tank cycled? What are the parameters of the water? What an how often do you feed her?

Also, she can still swim and eat normally, which confuses me more.

Can you put some pictures?

 

[esl97]

Actually I have come to the conclusion that it is a male. The tank is cycled and all the parameters are in check. I feed once a day

Try cutting back on the feeding to every other day, and try feeding him some peas. He could be getting bloated.
