If the fish are healthy, and you have good water quality, and feed some live food here and there, chances are good they will lay eggs. Chances are also good that the eggs will be eaten. Provide some cover (java moss) for the eggs to fall into for any chance of fry. Some setups include a marble substrate or a fine grate for the eggs to fall through to keep hungry mouths from munching.

If its egg laden it should soon release the eggs and they may possibly be fertilized but most likely would jsut be eaten. If its constipation to relieve it try feeding your fish frozen peas that you have defrosted and remove the skin. That should help it. One other thing to look out for is if the scales start to seem to stick out it may be droopsy.
