Couldn’t find a clownfish only forum. I think my clownfish is pregnant.

I just bought a pair of mating clownfish a few weeks ago and I believe one is pregnant because it is hanging out at the bottom and is getting larger by the day.

Most clowns that have paired off for a while will begin breeding. If you are up for a challenge, try your hand at raising the babies.

You would see them cleaning a rock really good for a clean surface to lay eggs maybe a week prior

It is unlikely that the female pictured about to spawn. Their stomach is much bigger and rounder when she is with eggs. She is not a bad looking Ocellaris.
