so i was looking up close to my tank like i usually do every once and awhile and i noticed my larger, dominant clown has a very fat looking "stomach". Right around a behind the pectoral fins. Its very healthy acting and swimming all over, eating, and such. Perfect paramters, all other fish healthy. It is paired with another smaller clown and ive had the tank for about 5 months.
Is this a illness or is my clown holding eggs?

o and i must add that i fed them a new food today, omega one pellet with garlic....
could the garlic pellets swollen up inside? i did not feed many pellets, just a few testers to see how they liked it.

There is another thread which is fairly new and I believe the subject is *what's wrong with my clown". Take a look at that one.. it might answer your question pretty well. I don't have the link here right now :(

Your clowns belly doesnt look quite as large as the one in the other thread.
Have you noticed your clowns clearing an area to possibly lay eggs? I sure hope that it is eggs and not an illness!
