    Might be having a growth spurt for the thinnes, Mine tend to go between thin and fat when they have their growth spurts.

    I feed mine Flake/Brine/Mysis, Pellets, Nori.... Krill... lol Well they eat anything I toss in there, except my hand thank god.

    Are your tangs little right now? I noticed mine tend to look that what when they where little, thinner on top then fat bellied on bototm. Till they matured to the 3-5 inch marker.

    I have an Achiiles, Naso, Chevron, Regal, and Purple tang. Fun times for sure.

    Well, As long as they arent withering away, and still are chubby. You should be good to go.

    They all have fat bellies just the upper part by their top fins seem to be a little thin.
