Good afternoon,
My 5 year old clown fish seems to be bloated and under stress. He has been 'breathing' heavy for a few days now. His swimming is very slow and hangs out in the lowest flow are of the tank. He also has not shown any sign of wanting to eat. He seems to be trying to poop out a little bit of white but it has been hanging there for a few hours. The diet consists of flak, mysis, occasional krill and he also will nip at the see weed strips. I have seen him eating some flake off of the surface. I usually submerge the flake before letting it go. The other fish tend to swim near him but i have never witnessed any bullying. I have attached 2 pics. Any insight?
thank you

Female for sure after 5 years. Sometimes they get ovarian prolapses, mine died of it, unfortunately. Do you have a hospital tank? Might want to try lower salinity environment, like 1.012 with antibiotics, like Furan-2.

Update, bloating is almost gone, still showing signs off stress but swimming much better, chasing others away from her anemone, eating a little, so Hope's are high
