Is this CPD filled with eggs or sick?

One of my CPDs has this massive ball on its underbelly. It seems to be swimming and eating fine, but it has been like this for a couple weeks and honestly looks painful! I haven’t seen this before, is it just super filled with eggs and not dropping them or does this suggest some disease?

That is not normal egg carrying. Possibly egg binding or a tumor of some sort. Even my most heavily gravid females looked nothing like that.

I agree with @Guppysnail  possible internal growth or egg bound heavy parasite load can also cause this type of bloating what I would suggest is trying Epsom salt baths 1 table spoon for 1 gallon for no more than 15 minutes for 5 days as Epsom salt acts as a muscle relaxant I would fast the fish for a couple days  as well if your seeing no improvement after 5 days something else could be going on like a tumor or heavy parasite burden @Pizzafan
