Hi ppl... have a pair of perculas that were purchased from CF more than a year ago. Today saw the bigger one(female?) has an oddly swollen tummy ...and momentarily the fish will turn pale...occassionally, it will swim with its head pointing downwards, its entire body almost doing a somersault in the water column...whats happening??!!Anyone experience this before???

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

do you feed your clowns floating food?

i had this experience with my maroon clown when it was feeding on floating flakes.

i thought it was gonna die then i realised that whenever it takes the flakes, it'd swallow bubbles...once or twice it did sth cute by passing bubbles out the other side... :)

so i stopped feeding the flakes and within a week, the stomach got better
