Those are definitely not clown eggs. Clowns have much much smaller eggs. It also looks like that is an opening in the stomach of the fish and not in the genital region.

Those could be clownfish eggs that she is for some reason unable to release. Has she ever laid eggs before? has she been preparing a nest site recently?

ok so the pictures only show 1/2 of what was hanging out today, I was trying to get her out and give her up.

than after a few houres she put a big patch of eggs again (she puts them down each 2 weeks.

never seen the lumb hanging out, but after she put down the eggs, it is all gone.

there is still a woond of about 1/3 to 1/2 inch, but it is a clean woond, and nothing hanging down anymore.

whit this happening I'm thinking of leaving her in the tank and se what will happen.

it was extreamly severe what was hanging out, but all gone.

so keep you posted on the progress.

I'm wondering if she had a problem with her vent, like maybe an egg was stuck in it or something. The belly opening could have been if she grazed a rock or something as the skin on the belly thins as eggs develop and they are using all their reserves to go into reproduction. She could have grazed it on a rock or something and because of the pressure of the eggs it opened up.

Defintely keep an eye on it, that wound is now a source of exposure to water and she'll have to be constantly osmoregulating to get the salt out of her system. If you can, get her away from the male or she'll be producing another batch of eggs before its healed.

Could very well be a vent issue. Stuck eggs is common problem in parakeets (yes, a previous life of mine) and is often fatal. If it were a FW fish you could probably put her in a epsom salt bath, but I'm not sure what you can do in SW.

I think in SW you just put them in FW wouldn't you? I can't remember the rule on that one.

FW dip then in QT with Melifix the melifix will help to heal the wound. hypersilinity would help. Take the QT down to 1.020 for now with the melifix, but you have to get her out of there use a bottle trap. Just do a surch for bottle trap on here there is a few threads on them.
