Pregnant or not??

If you think the fish is pregnant I wouldn't medicate, maybe just try a few salt baths on the fish to see if that helps.

It can't be pregnant because Danios lay eggs. Your fish most likely has dropsy. Unfortunately, dropsy is isnt curable. How big is your tank, what fish are in it, and how often do you feed and do water changes?

Carry on with the shelled peas, and if you have no scaless fish add some salt to the tank, tonic salt would be the best, good luck.

Dropsy is caused by poor water quality. A waterchange, usually, depending on the size of your tank, every two weeks is NOT enough.

How many gallons is your tank? What are your water readings? All I really need to know is the Ammonia levels.
