New Fish, Female Sick?

Hello all,
Just got this pair of Agassizii, they are loving the new tank, but the female seems a bit bloated. Should I be worried? Yesterday she was looking thin in the gills, but now she is looking bloated, more so than a normal fish looks. Maybe she's been chowing down on the nematoads?

What have you fed the pair. Ideally you should use a quarantine tank for new fish, too.
The tank has had no fish in it. I've tried to feed frozen blood worms and frozen brine shrimp but haven't witnessed them eating. The swelling was down this morning, she may have just found a ton of copepods.
