Pregnant percula clownfish?
We've had this pair for about 4-5 months & I noticed the bigger one is getting a bit of a gut. It's hard to get good photos of it but will keep trying. Could it possibly be pregnant?Click image for larger version Name: ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1399089259.290062.jpg Views: 114 Size: 253.9 KB ID: 235857Click image for larger version Name: ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1399089279.660032.jpg Views: 104 Size: 257.1 KB ID: 235858Click image for larger version Name: ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1399089356.355842.jpg Views: 126 Size: 255.5 KB ID: 235859

No they lay eggs and then the male externally fertilizes them. If they start cleaning a rock off then try will breed.

She just looks chunky but check in the next few days to see if they start clearing a spot. She could be gravid.
