it does sound like she could have eggs. quote from www.liveaquaria.com its just a quck quote since i hade the page open any way.....

To breed them, separate a pair into a "breeding tank" with no lighting at first and then gradually increase it until spawning occurs. Water hardness should be less than 4 degrees and live food such as mosquito larvae are great inducers. Be sure to remove the adults after the eggs have been laid, as the adults will eat them. The eggs should hatch within 30 hours.

thats for dimond tetras but most are the same.....
