Livebearers are voracious eaters and sometimes their stomachs bulge after a full meal. Pregnant livebearers bulge in the stomach area, and it doesn't subside after feeding time -- it just keeps growing.

This a common problem with livebearers in the community tank as the newborn fry are often eaten (the parents will also eat their own fry). Lots of fine-leaved plants provide hiding places for the babies.
