Female gourami swollen

Hey guus, I've had my gouramis for a little over a month and a half now. I noticed the male chasing and picking on the female a little bit throughout that month and a half but today during my water change I noticed that her stomach seemed swollen. My water parameters all read safe so I'm wondering what this could be? Any ideas?

Photos? Also what size tank and what other fish do you have? It could be she's egg laden.

30 gallon tank, I have a few kuhlI loaches and a few neon tetras in with them. It's hard to tell by the picture but her belly is definitely bigger, it's growing outward not down.

She's just fat with eggs. Also, not sure if it's a mistake since this thread is under Pearl Gourami but the one pictured is not a pearl. Maybe a gold gourami?

Thank you so much, and there was some confusion at my lfs I guess, I was told they were pearls but it seemed as though there were multiple species in the tank
