A bit late in the season for breeding. If they are inside in a tank it is unlikely that any eggs will survive the fish's appetite for eggs.
Anyhow, I don't want to ruin your day but the fact the fish's stomach grew very quickly is a bit worrying. I fear there may be a bacterial gas involved. Google for 'pine cone disease' and see if any of the symptoms are similar to your fish.
In the end, a vet or experienced aquarist is necessary to diagnose the tum with any degree of certainty. It is quite impossible to do this without seeing it.
