Achilles pics

So I was taking my usual 600,000 pics today without finding any I liked but what I did get was a strong feeling that it was time Doofus went on a diet.
Does anyone else think this might be unhealthy?

I'm including the pic below to show that he is the picture of health if you don't look at his beer gut

Wow! Is his name really Doofus?

Your angle also looks plump!

He was aptly named Doofus by my daughter. Here is a video I took of him last year when he was half the size

I think it is healthy for fish to be fat...to a point, I suppose. My Achilles does not look quite as heavy as yours, but I would guess it is close. He eats a tremendous amount, but also expends a lot of energy.

OK..I just watched the video and your fish is certainly weirder than mine. The really fast swimming is the same...as is the quick looping...but I've never seen mine go upsidedown!

You should spend hours watching that fish live like TomR, Irene & I have done. It's a hoot and a half. Real nutty.

I like my fish fat
