Can a clown fish get bloat?

[tg1119]

My maroon clown looks like her swim bladder is huge and is just swimming at a downward angel so she won't float to the top. I just stated feeding NLS pellet food about a week ago until now everybody has looked better. Is there anything I can do to help or an I in trouble?

start with water specs

[tg1119]

Water Specs look good.

salinity 1.022
Temp 78
ph 8.2
ammonia 0
nitrates 0
don't have nitrate test
Calcium 340 ppm

everything is how it usually is no big changes.

is the fish breathing rapidly is it eating?

[tg1119]

Well problem solved. I guess she just need some ex lax. Woke up this morning and she is swimming fine and her stomach is back to normal, has never stopped eating. Thanks for help txstate, how long have you been going to school here? I am in my second year. Good to see other people at the school keep tanks.
