Fat fish

[my2rotties]

Every where I read it says a fish should be fat to ensure they are healthy. I also read tangs will get aggressive if they are hungry... To keep the peace, I drop a couple of pellets for my sohal here and there during the day... If I kept dropping pellets or giving nori on the clip he would keep eating, I can bet on it.

He is FAT, really fat, and I don't know quite how to deal with it now. It is not healthy for any animal to be over weight, but exactly how do I put a fish on a diet. I have to say all my fish are very robust and healthy but my sohal looks like a porker. He is very thick compared to the others which are just nice.

With dogs if you can feel their ribs to a certain extent, you know they are in target range. How do you know if a fish is at a healthy weight and not over weight? If a fish is indeed obese (if that is possible), how can you really tell? Is this an issue with anyone else?
