That hawk needs some gastric bypass surgery

[ACBlinky]

This is Genny, my Lamarck's angel -- she was sold on and went to her new home this morning. I've never seen a fish eat, and eat, and eat so much! She was rounder than a ping-pong ball; I took a really good look at her before I packed her up this morning and she had put on quite a bit of weight since this picture was taken. Chubby doesn't even begin to describe it, she's an absolute hog! :D

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Hey now, don't laugh at my angel, she's very sensitive about her weight! Hehehe I dropped Genny off this morning with her new owner's friend (he was on his way to pick her up and we couldn't stay to meet him). I'm so disappointed I didn't get to watch him open the bucket; I really wanted to see his face when he first set eyes on her. She genuinely is the fattest, roundest, most hilariously obese fish I've ever seen. It certainly doesn't hinder her though -- if she sees food coming, she can swim the length of the tank in about half a second.

[Ah-lim]

Great thread !

Hi Psteeleb, ya mandi is fat!! Pods alone? :D

Any tips?

[2fishy]

This is probably the fatest fish I have right now.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g110/2fishy_2006/100_6347.jpg

But if my cherub was still alive, he would have beat the cardinal as far as fatness goes, even though the cardinal is a bigger fish than mine cherub.

Hi Psteeleb, ya mandi is fat!! Pods alone? :D

he got pretty big on pods, but started eating mysis about 9 months ago, and shortly after even started eating pellets. He still hunts down the pods and loves to show off to my wife, he'll aways come up to her and strut his stuff.

When I'm workin gin the tnka he usually follws my hand arond looking for stuff, not afraid at all and I'll occasionally bumb into him.

Mandarins are hit and miss when it comes to food other then pods. I've had very good luck with frozen blood worms, if you put them in front of where they are hunting most gobble them right up. I think its the shape and smell. I have another mandarin in my 29g. very healthy on just pods but she looks forward to blood worm treats, she'll come up to the turkey baster looking for them, she hasn't taken to mysis (yet)

[glassbox-design]

Heres my old yellow, not as fat as yours but a respectable tummy nonetheless.

how is your sohol.i had a bad experience with the one i had for years.when he got big he started pacing the lenth of the tank eventually slaming into large acro colonies breaking branches off daily.he was in a 180.i had to trap him and got some credit for him at the lfs.yours is beautiful and nice and fat.

[reefmaister]

Wow that hawk needs a triple bypass!

Nice star polyps 2fishy

[reefmaister]

That Sohal tang is beautiful! I love how the neon goby is hitching a ride.

[Deepsea2005]

Thanks reefmaister and rigleautomotive.
rigleautomotive,
The sohal behaves very good in my 300g tank. Hopefully, it keeps it that way.

Interesting thread. What are you guys feeding and how much? Is it only a few fishes that are supersized?

[lowincwrx]

wow! nice thread
i hope i can get my cherub angel as chunky as yours 2fishy

[Flavum]

that hawkfish is a chubbles

[Ah-lim]

Wonderful sohal, side track, may I know how much does it costs?

Thanks in advance.

[rigleautomotive]

believe it or not the hawk has never liked what i feed my other fish.he hunts day and night for tiny pods and such and usually ignores the food everybody else eats.really cool fish to watch.he perches on corals and rock motionless and pounces on stuff i cant really see.

[Deepsea2005]

Ah-lim, I bought the sohal when it was 4" for 139 + tax.

[sk8rreefgeek]

your sohal looks like he swallowed the RC sohal haha

[psteeleb]

I don't think you guys appreciate the magnitude..... Hmm .. girth of my tank fatty

I had a talk with him; and said he just wasn't getting much publicity on ReefCentral

so he stopped eating for a second and posed for a couple more pictures

Lunch, before mine died, old age I am guessing had him for 6+ years, I feed mine mainly Lifeline's Herbivore mix. He would also eat Spectrum pellets, Prime reef and mysis.

Can still see a bit of his belly in this picture, but he had pretty much stopped eating, and really didn't move around much.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/toddrtrex/LazyLMB2-1.jpg

Here is his replacement, a golden one. He is about 1.5 inches, and after being in my tank for a couple of days was already working on his belly.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/toddrtrex/YLMB6.jpg

[intenseimage]

Wow this thread is hysterical!

My guys are well on their way but compared to some of these pics, they have a LONG way to go.

But our one clown did eat so much the other night she could barely swim and just kinda settled into the bottom corner of the tank for a few mins before finding the energy to work her meal off lol

[MarkusII]

Hello,

I have the same sort of hawk - and it has the same size (looking like pregnant - thats the comment given by people watching my tank)

my other fish are as well not the smallest one´s....
the naso vlamingii´s in the 660g tank (not easy to get a good front or tail picture of them)

[phish guy]

great pics everyone. sadly i dont have a pic but my lawnmower, much like all of yours, is the fattest fish i there. big ol' round belly like an italian mob boss.

[Ah-lim]

Deepsea2005, thanks for the reply.

Wonderful pictures guys.

Btw, is there such a thing as being Too Fat ??

:lol: It sure got fat! I was really surprised when we lost it. It definately liked to hog the food!

These pictures are awesome!!

Guys...

I think we need to be a little sensitive to your fishes feelings. They are not fat...they are circumferentially challenged. :p

[UTTAngel]

I don't feel so bad about fattening up my Lawnmower blenny now!

Keep up w/ the pics!

[seapug]

yes...this is definitely becoming Thread of the Month material, IMO.

hey (2fishy) what kind of lighting and parameters do you have to get those green star polyps to grow on you substrate like that? or is it just an optical illusion? either way it looks sick.

[Toddrtrex]

Was taking some tank pictures tonight, and notice that my Potter's angel is getting a little weight on him, not as "bad" as some in this thread, but he is getting there.

Not the best picture for showing it, but gives you an idea.

Lunchbucket

Sorry for the late reply Lunchbucket. He cleans all the windows in my tank + the bottom (BB tank) Besides that he "steals" all the food I feed the rest of the tank. He he always manage to be there first and grab a big chunk of mysis.
Last but not least he eats the excrements of all the other fish :rolleyes: He's really is an addict.

[rigleautomotive]

any more fatties out there.i still think the hawk is the winner so far

[Reefnerd9]

I saw a purple tang at the LFS today that was 1 inch thick, unfortunately he was in the reef so he's not for sale. The LFS has a pretty fat Chevron tang too. I will take a picture on my next visit.

I imagine that fat Naso's are pretty common.... Not a good shot..but my vlamingi is pretty chunky.

[HippieSmell]

Funny thread, but I have a comment about the Lawnmowers. Just so you know, if you feed them a lot of meaty food, the fat belly they get might be because of bloat and they can die from it.

[sk8rreefgeek]

I hope no one is overfeeding now, just to get fame in this thread. lol


http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r41/karlkidd/jabba.jpg

the hawk does not eat prepared food much, if at all.he hunts for pods all day long and evidently finds plenty.
