Our fish is so full of eggs, she looks like she will explode. She is a good eater, healthy fish, looks like eggs are going to take her out. What can I do? Looks even bigger, then this picture I copied from a post of an egg bound goby.

My female madarin and ruby scooter looked like that for years on end. Nothing to worry about, just means your doing a good job.

Ive seen mandarins in tanks loaded with pods looking just like this.
 
How did you pull that off without them all getting eaten?
I kept growing and really putting a lot into the tank. Soon at night I could see the adults. I have enough rocks and hiding places that they managed to grow. I also have some macro algae they likely hid in. Every once in awhile I will add in some fresh ones just to pump it up.
