Maroon Clown with a swollen butt
I noticed my female clown has a swollen butt with a reddness. What can be causing it?
I removed her from the tank to start treatment and reduce any additional stress. Any recommendations?

I she an egg layer? My female Occelaris gets an enlarged gut and gets what appears to be a slightly prolapsed derriere when she is about to lay eggs.

Yes she has laid eggs many time before, but I have never seen her belly swell like this.
I've had her for 12 years and has been paired for 10 of those 12 Last edited by chava67; 06/10/2010 at 02:43 PM. |
