Pregnant Occ.

Although not an ocellaris, here is an image of a gravid female percula clown; you can see that her abdomen is swollen with eggs:

I have never noticed the belly darkening before spawning on clownfish (as it sometimes does with freshwater livebearers).

If spawning is imminent (within a day of spawning), the female's egg-depositing tube (ovipositor) will be extended.
