samsies Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Hey guys, noticed that my Clownfish has been turning a little luminous yellow-green on the underside of her belly (as circled in picture below) She has been like that since 2 days ago, but doing well eating like a pig and behaving like a chao Ah Lian scraping for food with my gangster Chromises during feeding. Her poo used to be white when I first got her, but once she started feeding normally her poo turned normal. Last check - brown-red poo. Normal right? I've only seen one or two Common Clowns in a LFS looking a little greenish-yellow on the bottom of their bellies before, but didn't ask the LFS owners what this could be indicative of. I'm quite sure it's not the lighting. I've tried googling this phenomenon, but came up with nothing. She's not turning radioactive, is she?

samsies Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 lol ah lians like to scrape for food meh? still having major issues trying to relate clownfish to Ah Lian! Personal joke really. I mean, if my Chromises behave like thuggish Ah Bengs fighting for food with the Clownfish (who, by the way, is no slouch either) during feeding time, going by that same logic, the Clown should be a Lian lah. She's the bigger female mah Jokes aside, you guys ever spotted such coloration on clowns before?

SRC Member LaW Posted December 9, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted December 9, 2009 DSLR!!! with a bloody fast lens! off topic btw, my guess will be it eating too much that its tummy is stretches out. so the color pigment got stretches as well. thats my guess. but if that fella its eating well, it should be of no problem.

And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

Yes that was taken with my office DSLR - not the best, but it'll have to do coz I'm 'cameral-ess' at the moment. Nikon D80 with kit lens, shutter speed 1/160s, aperture f5.6, ISO1250 for those who're interested in what settings the picture was shot in. Lens is pretty mediocre so I had to compensate by setting the variables manually (bump up the ISO and shutter speed) in order to catch her and her radioactive tummy hahahah. OT liao. I think LaW is probably right - she might be eating a little too much ... gotta think of a way to feed my gangster Chromises and the rest of my fishies separately so that they start feeding in a more civilized manner! And also in order for the less aggressive inhabitants to get their share as well. Quote " ... and the sea cucumber turns to the mollusk and says, 'With fronds like these, who needs anemones?'
