i think my plecco is sick. please help

He looks bloated to me. He is not floating at the top, but is not moving around as much. Ive noticed it the last 4 days and it is not getting any smaller.

Could be female and she has eggs.  That would make the catfish look fat.

Could be some kind of bloat/disease...or it could be the catfish ate another fish? 

Looks like an inspector type pleco?  How big is it?
