Look It Up
Has she gotten bigger lately? It's possible she's just a good eater and/or full of eggs. It doesn't look like any of her scales are pine-coning. One symptom of bloat is dropsy which is often fatal, but there's no way to really tell. If her scales start popping out, then she's sick. She could be bloated too but again it's hard to tell. Is she acting normal otherwise? No gasping or hiding or clamped fins?
One thing to try is to feed the fish 1 or 2 deshelled thawed frozen peas (you can feed the whole tank, it's good for all of them); I put mine in the microwave for a minute or two then take the shell off, then mush it a bit and put it into the tank. Remove any uneaten portions after a few hours. Peas act as a natural laxative and can help if there's any constipation. Then fast the tank the next day and see how she does. I usually fast my tank and/or give them peas once or twice a week.
