Babies or no???

[HartfordWhalers]

My fish right now is either dying or having babies, not to sure, She dug a little hold so its bare bottom, and is moving back and forth really fast and the male is swimming around making sure nothing is near her, I have only one light on now but what do you think this is?

Seems like she might lay eggs- What kind of fish is it?

Saddleback clown, female is about 5 1/2 inches and the male about 2 1/2

could just be hosting in the dirt. my clowns did that for awhile, would have dug down to bare bottom if my sandbed not been so deep.

My Clarkiis and GSMs do the same thing minus the swimming fast back and forth. Have you noticed any cleaning (nibbling) in the area by either of the fish? Usually when they are preparing to lay a clutch they will clean the area in which they plan on laying the eggs on.
