What size tank and what is your current livestock? If you are refering to the fish this thread is about make it your last one

The pic with the spine showing was when I first got it, a little bit more fatter these days.
I don't feed dry foods, never have, never will.
Quality dry foods are an excellent way to fatten up skinny, newly imported fish like tangs because they have a high protein content without the excess "filling" moisture of frozen foods, are are super easy to feed often (like every time you walk by the tank). Not to be dismissed, especially for anyone reading a PBT primer

Haha understandable. I feed fresh foods from the grocer/fishmonger though. IME I have found that my fish, not just the PBT, respond better to this than other types.

Fish get used to what you feed them over time. Do you have any recent pictures of your PBT? He could surely put on a fair amount of weight from the picture you posted up above.
I'm going to have to try to get some side and profile shots of my PBT this weekend.

SDGuy, are you sure that's not my fish? 
Mine is just as thick as yours.

I just realized I had a few in my photobucket even though they are kinda old. He is even fatter now.

Well I tried a PBT and it ended in a casualty. I had to try it just because it is one of my favorite fishes. He was eating just like all the other fish in my tank and one day I came home and he was acting very weird (staying in one spot letting to food hit him in the face) and the next day he was a dead. He never got picked on by anything but he really didn't like my dragon goby. He lasted about 2 months.This will be the first and last time I try this fish..

Will try and grab some. A little bit harder in my tank though.
