She does appear gravid but to be safe i wouldnt feed for the next 2 days along with a gravel vac to clean out any chance of a stomache infection.
Breathing rapidly is one of the first signs of bloat like issues.
Is there a red colouration between the pelvic fins? this is among my ancistrus spp one of the first signs of being gravid.
HTH

she may well be gravid, but a slight chance its bloat - but if you dont feed she wont lay.
I can see you have been feeding algae wafers - what make are they? some of these can cause bloat. I would try a diet of peas (cooked with skin removed) this way she gets good food and this helps cure bloat as well.

By the Third picture I'd defo say its eggs. Apparently they have 2 sacs for eggs where you'd expect the lungs to be.
