Blue stripe skinny but is eating!!

[shabreeson]

Hello I recently purchased a blue stripe clownfish from a fellow reefer. She eats well and is plump on the head but is skinny towards the tail.and it looks as though the second bar curves in from the dorsal, then out again at the fish midline. I've attached the most recent picture.

Really difficult to tell from the photos. If you can see the fish's spine (which may be the case based on your description), then the fish is malnourished. Feeding nutritious foods like Rod's Food or NLS pellets should fatten her up.

Ok great!!

Are you not able to click on the photos to zoom in??

 

[Deinonych]

Yes, I can zoom in on the photos. Still not definitive.

If you look at the second pic, the light is coming directly from above. Then looking at the first bar, it's light on top and shaded on the bottom. If you look at the second bar, the top is shaded(because the flesh is thin) then it gets bright in the middle(as if the spine is raised)

So the head(by the first bar) is plump while it tapers off toward the tail(second bar)
