Really fat otocinclus- pregnant or sick

One of my Otos is way fatter than my others. Just started in the last week. Up close they look like little round white spots. Like eggs. But I know breeding Otos is almost impossible. Is there some sickness that could cause this?

The Otto In my 20g is super fat like that and it has been that way for 6+ months and is fine.
check out if its pooping, id think if its pooping then it should be healthy and could be just really full/pregnant.
yeah it's pooping, i've seen it swimming with a tail of poop.
My guess is that its fine and just swollen with eggs. hopefully she'll spawn for you, but the fry/eggs are finicky about soft acidic water.
