We are not sure if this is an emergency or not.. but we are very worried....

We have a zebra danio in our tank that looks like she ate a whale.
The belly is huge and seems to get a little larger each week.
We ask the LFS about her and they said she was getting ready to lay eggs.
But that was 2 weeks ago. She's been like this for around 6-7 weeks now.
Another LFS told us that she might be consitipated. So suggested we add salt to the water which we already do. They suggested we start feeding frozen food instead of dried. So we have been doing that about a week and half.
There has been no change. She swims fine.
We named the fish mama fish... but have no idea if its really male or female.
Here is the best picture we have been able to get of her.
Any ideas?

Thanks,

Cooked, shelled peas should help if it's constipation.
 
Mine looks a lot like that. My fish laid eggs and they hatched, but my zebras never got that big. I'm afraid it might be worms or something of that sort...
