Looks like she is getting ready to start laying. And not to long in the future. Feed them both good then do a water change and that should get them going.

Either or both. They do like variety. But it shouldn't be long now.

High Curby , I'd like to say yes she looks gravid. Can you see the white spot in the first pic- looks like stretch marks( my females get huge spots of this after they have spawned) and also the big red patch near the anus - looks like a high concentration of blood in the area- I'm guessing that the eggs would need this near as a source of nourishment.
