Hey there, I have a 90 Gallon with 2 clowns who aren’t paired, Mandarin, fire goby and blue damsel. My clown who was the bigger one, is now slightly smaller. But the last couple of days has gotten a really fat or swollen belly. She is still eating lots, but sticking closer to her anemone lately. Her poop isn’t white. Just wondering if it’s sickness or babies? How to tell?

You can't tell if is egg bound vs something else - and I wouldn't worry about either

What foods are you feeding it and can you provide a video under white light intensity of at least 30 seconds to see its swim behavior and breathing pattern?
 
PS - What I said was not clear - I meant you can't tell if egg bound or something else and I wouldn't worry about either UNLESS THERE IS A CHANGE IN BEHAVIOR, etc
