I got 3 Pachytriton labiatus and kept them in same tank 5 weeks ago and kept them altogether for around 2 week but male show his aggressive,so I separate each for 1 week and tried to introduced male in female's tank again,for this time[2nd time] they did not shown their aggressive,but I not sure because the male are very aggressive,I separated each again until last week I introduced male to female's tank again[3rd time] and have kept them in same tanks until I notice the female get bigger her abdomen.

This doesn't look like any bloating illness, as the chest and throat aren't swollen. She may well be gravid - make sure you provide cave-like structures (an upturned flowerpot with a door cut into it works well, or a pile of rocks) for the female to lay in if she does breed. Also, keep watching for aggression as it can sometimes flare up with little warning.

Good luck
