HELP with sick? O.clownfish!!

[nanoreefer88]

he is on his side near the surface on one of the water intakes for my 12g nanocube. he has a large belly but locks thin. when i open the top he moves and moves to stay in place there. is he sick? or what (PS i just did a 45% water change after not changing the water for a while, too many other things going on) SG=1.0235

Hopefully he just swallowed a lot of air when feeding from the water surface. How's the color? Breathing? What do you normally feed?

color looks normal, but a little bit translucent, kinda breathing hard, i just feed flake food. he seems to be swimming a little more now so i hope its all good

Let's hope it all comes out OK in the end.

now my other clown is swimming by it just not on the grate. They kind of seem to be switching off. and the other one has a belly on it too but its bigger. is this a possible pregnancy?

Anything's possible but that doesn't explaing the floating Clownfish. Clowns are notorious for sucking in air when eating flake food. One of the main reasons I don't feed flakes.

Buy some frozen food boss. And give em a treat like live brine once in a blue moon. It's like taking the kids out to Dairy Queen.
