Hey guys. Don't know if this is a problem or if this is normal. Was just watching my tank and noticed that one of my clown fishes belly looks swollen. Can someone help me out please. Did water test last week and all levels were good. I will have to do another test tomorrow and can report back on them.

Two things cause this:
Clowns are aggressive eaters and will stuff themselves, yet continue to eat. Constipation can occur from overeating

Other would be internal bacteria. If fish is eating, this reduces possibility.
Have you noticed fish pooping and if poop is white and stringy?

To reduce possibility of infection, you can feed the clown metro and even use focus as a binder with foods

I did notice this right after feeding. I was gone By 530 this morning so I did not look at it this morning. I will be back at home this afternoon. I will look and see if the condition is still the same. What I did also last night is I am over feeding and had planned on feeding less today there was a lot floating around after they were all done. Thank you for answering. I will update when I get home.
