YWG Bloated or just fat?

[alienbob113]

Over the last month or so i haven't noticed my YWG eating as voraciously during feedings, although that could just be my imagination. When i purchased him he was completely devoid of any color, just a dull grey with almost indistinguishable spots, but now he is bright yellow with brilliant blue spots and seems very happy with his pistol shrimp. Today while feeding i noticed his belly was protruding a little bit and was wondering if maybe its bloated and he really isn't eating, or if he's just a fatty and doing just fine since he isn't showing any other symptoms. attached are mediocre iphone pics and vids:

To me he looks like a perfectly happy and plump yellow watchman. As long as he is eating I wouldn't worry about it, just keep an eye out for changes in behavior or if anything worsens if your worried about him.

Looks good to me. One other consideration; He... might actually be a She and as such will have a plumper belly from carrying ripe ova. It's not always a case of just being fat...fish in good health and condition in the wild are not thin, and, when in breeding condition, the females will appear much rounder in the belly than a male in same condition, and, both should have smooth, slightly rounded flesh from head to tail (easy to see when viewed from the front).
