Ocellaris having issues laying eggs - Thursday, November 22, 2012 2:54 AM

My Ocellaris pair has been laying for 11 months. Two nights ago it looked like she was going to lay eggs so I left them alone and didn't feed her. She still hasn't laid eggs, her belly swollen, tube is down, and she is not eating, not a good sign . Do clowns have problems with egg binding? Anyone had this problem? Have any ideas on what I can do?

One of my big Occys was having trouble laying.  I started feeding her Spirulina pellets and that helped quite a lot.  She needs to have those pellets a few times a week or she gets all bunged up.
