Yesterday I noticed that one of my gourami's was having bulges on the sides of her body. I didn't know what it was at first then I asked on Yahoo answers and found out that maybe it could be that she is pregnant. Up until now, I thought that both of the gouramis I have were male, but now I know one of them is female due to the comparison in color to the male which she is lacking.
Now I'm thinking that she is pregnant for sure. She is housed with a male gourami, 2 neon tetras, and 3 corydoras all in a 10 gallon. How can I make this process easy for myself and the fish?? Will I be needing another tank for the female and the male? Please help me!

fish don't get pregnant, they lay eggs to have them fertilized by a male.

your fish is not called pregnant since it's an egglayer
