Breeding true pecula clown

[cruzin94066]

I have two true peculas both about the same size about 1.5 inch to 2 inch. One true pecula is an onyx true pecula clown. I have never bred clowns before but I will try if someone can tell me how a true pecula clown looks like when she is pregnant.

My onyx clown has a very round belly and the clown's eyes is a little bulging plus she may not be eating.

My water parameters are excellent and I cannot see anyone picking on the onyx including the other clown. They may be starting to pair cause at first they would fight and stay away from each other and now they are together more often.
Thanks

A small clown with a distended belly, eyes bulging and lack of appetite - sounds like internal infection to me. "Dropsy" type..not sure what that would be in saltwater fish. Just my $0.02, but I would be looking at disease diagnosis and treatment, not hoping for a spawn.

FWIW,
