Hey all

I have a friend that have some clowns.
But here last week when he changing water, was called away.
And the tank stud with only 250 liters og water, it's a 530 tank
Then came the weekend an he had time to fill it up again, he did so with only cold water.
2 days after he was looking at the tank and one of hes clown was beging, to grow around the middle.
I know that there is only on ot two ppl that have clowns thats spawns, but take a look at these pic's..

And it's only this one..




It got this fat in a week

wow! that is enormous...it is acting okay otherwise i assume? eating and swimming fine and so on?

yes it's eating and all

All the other fish in the tank has been moved to another one, just in case she lays some eggs

you've left the other clowns behind, yes? I have to say I might be worried about dropsy - not that I have any experience of keeping clowns, but (s)he does look bloated. I think thta would be my first thought, particularly following a drastic change in tank conditions, not to mention the cold water.
