Hello, I have 3 Brilliant Rasboras and one of them i got like 1 month ago and now it looks much fatter, could it be pregnant? And if it is what do I have to do? Thanks

Not pregnant.
Females have a fuller outline. If they have eggs they are gravid.

Nothing to do. They scatter the eggs if they breed and eat them. Egg layers are trickier to breed than Livebearers. In heavily planted tanks some people will find a surprise baby or two from egg laying fish.
 
none of those fish look pregnant. The fuller tetra is just a female i believe. male tetras usually thinner / smaller
 
It died... it was bloated and eventually died.. was bleeding out of its scales was very messy i placed it in another tank and it died in there, i removed it from my 30 gal
