Sick Or Pregnant Clown Loach?

[_simon_]

Has anyone got a picture of a pregnant clown loach?

We've had 2 loaches for years now, both the same size. These past few days one of the loaches has literally ballooned in size. It's now double the size of the other loach and for want of a better word it's belly looks deformed.

I don't know whether it's heavily pregnant or very sick.

It seems to be able to swim around ok although it's spending time at the back of the tank in a vertical position instead of lying on the gravel the way it used to.

I will try and get a picture although I never have much luck photographing fish.

Its not impossible to breed clowns. One of my clowns was spawning earlier this year. There were hundreds of tiny golden coloured eggs scarttered over the tank. I was unable to save them due to ignorance and the fact that my clowns and all the other fish were devouring them.
