i take it the probs with the female con ?
is she pooing ?
if not she may be constipated
hows your water parameters
nitrate ammonia , nitrite and ph
if she isnt pooing you may need to use epsom salts at 1 table spoon per 10 gallons

Depends whats causing the bloat.  She is disabled in competition for food and may get picked on ... quarantine her and observe the rest

I would also give the epsom salts a go.
