Six line wrasse

We bought a six line wrasse about 2 weeks ago, she is very very small, and i think she is a female. I looked at her the last couple days and i noticed, her stomach is getting bigger and she looks pregnant. The problem is that i can't take a pic of her because she hides when she sees the camera. Any idea?
 
Just sounds like a fat healthy 6 line to me. FWIW, wrasses are egg-scattering spawners from my understanding...not really such a thing as a "pregnant" wrasse. Very Very Small only seems to indicate "imaturity" and in wrasses, yes, probably a "female" for now. Unless it goes off food, probably nothing at all to worry about (typically, when people start thinking fish look "pregnant", it's been my experience that it's either simply a portly glutonous fish, or there's an internal infection going on that's causing fluid or gas buildup in the abdomen).

FWIW,

Matt
