Pregnant or hecka fat?

[Bubs2]

My clowna grown a big belly. Is she fat or pregnant? I'm also confused because I don't know which is male and which is female. One hosts the anenome and the other is a free swimmer. They are the same size and we bought them like that. I think they grown but they both have grown equally. No fighting at all either so yeah.. heres a pic of her or him ? Idk...

If it is pregnant I call getting 2 babies!

wouldn't mind a pair either! The female will be slightly bigger, the male will submit by spazzing out. Have you noticed either one of them cleaning a certain area?

Unfortunately clown babies don't really live in a dt when hatched. And without tons of rotifiers they will starve or become fish food. Beautiful clown you have.

No spazzing. I've had them for like 8 months maybe more. Ill check to see if theyee cleaning a area to lay eggs but they hardly go near eachother

Then I'm going to have to go with fat. If she gets bigger though she could be having a problem with pooping. I'm order to help her out I would feed her peas after cooked and rake the skins off. Mic with some food

How much do you feed? I've bred clowns and have kept them for close to 40 years, never saw a female blow up that fast before spawning.
Hopefully she's just going to pop, nice clowns.

My bangaii was constipated. He just kept getting bigger, and bigger, and rounder... Then one night he seemed like he was developing a prolapse, and I was trying to get him into QT, couldn't manage and decided I'd grab him tomorrow.

Low and behold -- No prolapse, just finally ready to deal with his constipation o.O

He's like half the size again. He looks like he went behind a rock and performed liposuction.

I fees everyday with misis and algae cubes. Except on vacation so only have flakes auto feeding atm
