i'm sorry, i'm not sure if this is an emergency or not, but i can't find anywhere else to post this question...

Now, I'm sorry for the quality, and i had to do a little manipulating to the picture to get it to a smaller size, but this is the best I could do

Anyways, I was wondering, does this, in any way, look like a pregnant giant danio?
I have two more pictures, if you're not quite sure by these two
I have four danios in total, and i believe at least two are female, but it may be three, with one male, but like I said, i'm not sure

By the look of it, they may have a full gut of eggs
also, one of them goes to the bottom of the tank, alone, and slowly goes around for a few seconds, every few minutes, could this mean anything?

The fish looks fine to me its dosn't look bloated.
 
yeah fish looks fine.
could just be well fed.
if it is broody then its descent to the bottom of the tank could be it looking at spawning sites or just for food.
when mine bred (admittedly they were standard danios) they did it first thing in the morning all over the tank, generally where there was any amount of dense foliage.
i would expect the females belly to be bigger if it was just about to spawn.
just keep an eye on it.

well i was just looking at all the other pictures of danios, and the other two in my tank, and they looked much thinner than normal, and it's easier to tell they look a little bloated if i could manage to get a picture of them without them jolting away, they're a VERY fast fish, lol
 
Do they look really thin as with danio that can be old age, fish tb, to internal parasites.
