Tetra are egg layers not live bearers.
Females tend to be rounder than males.

Your female could be:-
Maturing.
Egg bound.
Ready to lay (she will need a male to fertilise the eggs)
Suffering from an illness causing 'bloat'

If you move her to a 10 gallon then you will need to move a male (or two)
with her.
Classified as very difficult to breed in a tank.

Hope that gives you enough information to consider,

Dave
