Just noticed my clownfish was very fat. Is it eating too much or is it pregnant. The other clown in the tank is a black polymnus, would these two mate?

of the 2 which one is bigger in size? if the ocellaris is the bigger, it could possibly happen that they mated, but I highly doubt it.

It could be one of two things by that second picture. You clown is carrying eggs (doesnt mean it will lay them though) or it is constipated. Is the perc the bigger of the two?

I thinking it just gorged itself, now it's looking less bloated. There goes the excitement.... Yes, the perc/ocellaris(?) is the larger one. Thanks for the replies!

Yep that is a gravid A. ocellaris without a doubt. From the looks of her she will put them down in the next 24 hours.

Mine actually look that way if they eat too much, hope yours is getting ready to lay eggs though.

Looks like she just got the lion's share of an overfeeding. Belly is back to normal and there are no eggs anywhere to be found.
