Flame Tetra Carrying Eggs?

[FlameTetra333]

Hello, earlier today I went to my Petco, and got some supplies. When I got back I noticed my Flame Tetra with a big lump on its belly. Can anyone tell me if it has eggs? I posted a video. Here is the link: ‪Flame Tetra Carrying Eggs?‬‏ - YouTube

I thought tetra's were egg layers but I could be wrong.
Did it just appear all of sudden??

Yeah, but it might just be because I got some bloodworms at the Petco and fed it to my Flame Tetras, they gobbled it up. However, I don't think some tiny bloodworms could make a Flame Tetra swell up that much :|

Btw, they are, but they still swell up like they are pregnant.

Blood worms wouldn't create a "lump" like that.....I feed my tetras blood worms all the time and the full belly look is a different shape.
I understand that they swell when pregnant, I just didn't think it was that pronounced.
I have no other suggestions but I'm sure someone else on here will have the answer.

A tetra is an egg layer, and would never be 'pregnant.' I don't think the images look like the fish is gravid tho.

When I woke up this morning, the swelling just went down...weird.
