after i found out that my pair of clown fish are maybe mating, the female is acting weird. she is suiming in the other side of the tank were most of the life rock is. when they most of the time in the other side. and she is suiming in this little corner very close to the sand. she look like if she is looking for a place were to place the eggs. but i also though she may be sick. and i put a little amount of food in the tank to see how she react. and she was one of the firt one to get to the food and eat it. then she swim around the tank looking for something behind the LR and end up in the same corner.
can somebody explaing me thing:thinking: is she pregnant. becasue her belly doesnt look to big but is defenetly bigger than before. i'll take a picture later so you can see

Well, I don't know spec. about clownfish, but females of all types of creatures do odd things :D I would say she's prob fine. You said she ate, right. That's a good sign. But I also wouldn't be alarmed if she missed a meal, but as long as it doen't become a habit. Good of you to be concerned thou. Good luck!

They won't get eaten. The parents protect them pretty well. And it won't matter really, unless you are really wanting to raise the young (which is reall really hard by the way). If not, then the other tank inhabitants will make a nice meal of the babies when they hatch. Great way to feed the tank.
