Fish farts

Wondering if anyone has seen this before. My clown fish was swimming around and producing small bubbles from it's exit. Did I witness a fish fart?

Saw my silly little clown do this yesterday. Didn't realize it was an actual thing till I saw it happen. Funny part, as he farted he got a little boost, kind of like rocket power. lol

Strange write up but yes, herring is one of the families known to emit gases, in their cause as a form of altruism.

Having a nanotank I can't but notice it as everytime this happens the parameters get wild and the corals retract.

I just witnessed this for the second time from my snowflake. I’ll catch her one day this week and post a video.

All I can picture is right now there are a bunch of people sitting in front of their tank with their phones out waiting to capture the "moment" and be the first to post!
