Are my clownfish ok?

I've had these clowns a little over a year. About 5 days ago they went into the bottom corner, and they don't even leave it to eat. If food makes it down to that corner they will eat it, but they stopped going to the surface like normal. The only thing that has changed was I started using Reef Roids again because my corals started to bleech I think from lack of nutrients. I definitely do not do enough water changes but my levels stay the same, which is very clean esp for my zoas bleaching. No ammonia, nitrites, or nitrates(atleast don't show on my tester because its ppm) calcium, and magnesium are high but thats nothing new. Salt is at 1.025. Temp 79.

I can’t see clearly but the top clown almost looks like a female and has her ovipositor out? It’s a little pipe out the bottom middle between the anal and ventral fins.

If your water parameters are good you don’t see any eggs anywhere near by do you? If she is about to or has laid eggs they aren’t moving from that spot for a few.

Sadly the female died a couple days later. The only thing I can think of is the water wasn't oxygenated enough, the only real bubbles I get is from the skimmer in the sump.

Sorry to hear your loss.

sorry to hear that, always tough to lose a fish.. but I don't think that it is lack of oxygen, if you are running a skimmer then it should be plenty oxygenate unless it is a massive tank. Could be wrong, but know that skimmers oxygenate the water quite a bit

They probably have an internal worm or parasite. Those can be silent and quick killers with little to show on the skin. Heavy breathing, lethargy, not eating (or not excited to eat), all signs of internal parasites or worms. Clownfish are very hardy damsels, not going to kill them because of reef roids and oxygen unless your tank isn't stable.

I find they can handle a lot of natural elements, but disease really slams these buggers fast.
