Hello! So my 8yr female occellaris’s swimming has seemed different for the past 2-3days. I initially thought she was constipated, but I’ve seen her “go” so I don’t think that’s it. The main difference is she’s not coming to the surface when I feed as much as she used too(she usually eats out of my fingers). I thought it may have been an issue with her swim bladder then as she was leaning to one side slightly. However, after looking at clowns that have had swim bladder issues, it doesn’t seem to be the same, as she can still maintain buoyancy. She still eats fine. She is also laying, but the last batch hatched 3-4 days ago. The only other thing i can think of was she got some bristleworm spines on her face and mouth and could have ingested some. I’ve attached some videos of her swimming and eating. If anyone can tell what’s going on with her or has an idea, I would really appreciate it.
edit: Also params have been stable , corals are fine, &4 gal WCs every other week
