clownfish question?

[sammy32lee]

how do you know when a clownfish(true percula) is pregnant? i bought them as a pair at first and they use to fight, but now they are always together and the bigger one seems like her belly's sticking out. the bigger clown is always in the gbta and the lil clown is always right underneath the gbta swimming around the edges of the tentacles

thanks

Look around, you can find pics on google. It sounds like she probably is gravid, though. Look out for other signs that she's about to lay eggs. There's a wealth of info on this too -- google "gravid clownfish" or "breeding clownfish" (And that's the correct term for being full of eggs. Technically, pregnancy requres a fetus, and fertilization occurs after the eggs are laid, with clownfish. )
