Female Clown Pregnant

[strumph3]

Hi all,

I think my female is pregnant....her belly is very big and lower than usual....

What should i look for in the next week...the two clowns I have live in our long tentacle anemone....is she going to birth in the anemone or will it be hidden somewhere else? I just want to protect her or the babies...any suggestions?

Thanks, Leah in Sacramento, CA

she may be gravid, but she won't give birth in the anemone.
She wil lmost likely attach the eggs to a surface near the anemone so that the male can fertilize them. try to place an upside down tile near the anemone so they can spawn on it. That way when the eggs are ready you can just move the tile to a grow out tank.

Clowns when eating food from the top of your water will take in arge amounts of air. Its could be either of the two things.

Good Luck
