I have a pair of frostbite clown fishes for over Two years now. They are healthy and she started to lay eggs 6 months ago. She lays eggs every two weeks. I have never noticed her been this big. She is so blotted now, it looks like her eyes is going to pop out. She cant even swim normal.
Is this normal? Could be she is about to lay eggs?

I dont think its from her been pregnant. She is been laying eggs for a ling time, and I have never seen her this big. Its way too big. Her eyes is gonna pop out! She cant swim! No joke
I wish I could help but I've never seen anything like that before. Hopefully she pulls through man, if I had to take a shot at it-i would think shes just mega preggo. Could maybe be an infection?

Is she eating?

It is surely not natural ! On the other hand see looks like the GoodClown blimp. I have a buddy with a big damsel like this. Been around for years now.

My misbars lay eggs regularly also but this last time it look like a small gold ball I. The belly of the female right before she laid eggs which I was worried but two days later she was fine and there were a new set of eggs so I guess it was her being pregnant. Yours look more like the entire fish is bloated rather then just in the stomachs area like mine were but hope it is only her pregnant
