I have 10 zebra danios along with neons, platies, betta and clown plecs and a bristlenose. Recently a couple of the danios are getting a rounded stomach. How can I tell if they are pregnant or not and how can I tell the difference between a male and female danio?

Frothy bubbles have appeared at the surface in the corner of my tank! Did a water change a couple of days ago and all the readings are fine so I am really confused about what's causing it. Can anybody help?
