Hard to say?
Could she have be beaten up while trying to spawn?
Pic from front she doesn't look to be wasting?
Are you sure her vent is not what you see?

I really don't know?
The end of the video should be helpful to someone.

Have you noticed the other angel picking on her?

 

[Potluck]

Something definitely seems wrong with her breeding tube, beyond that i just don't know. Is columnaris a possible culprit? At least of the white fuzz?

What can i do with the tube, swab lightly maybe, fish don't get egg bound i was told i don't know?

Fish CAN get egg bound. Your best bet in my experience is to try an anti fungal or separate her into a different solitary tank and treat with salt. The dosing is about a teaspoon per gallon but id half it and see how she handles it/if it has any effect. Whats in with her in the current tank?

I have another tank set up but it's not cycled and is for my nephews cichlids, i can't risk spreading this to that tank

The only anti fungal i have is fungus guard, i don't know if melafix is antifungal

Hi, don't give up! It really sucks when they go like that and you've fought the good fight. I've had fish that have shown no signs of infection but the tank has had multiple cottonmouth and ich infections (not all at once). Other fish you look at sideways and they go downhill. Frustrating!!

Each case I take the journey and look to get better. The tank gets more mature, the other fish get stronger and the aquarium is more established. And it just clicks.

I have to agree with Delapool. Take a couple days to sort through your feelings. I had to euthanize my EJBD for persistent issues. He was over 7" in length and I had him a number of years. It takes a bit to get over the loss. I almost tore down my tank, since he was the last fish in there.
After a couple days, I changed the substrate, and bought some fish (truthfully, not caring what I got). Now I'm glad I didn't take it down. And I seem more attuned to the tank and its condition now. Don't give up.
I know it's hard.
