Fat as in "gosh that's a big belly after you've eaten" or fat
as in "you aren't supposed to have that shape" ?

Keep in mind SAE's get pretty big. They eat a lot.

And, frankly, I would let them.

I'm happy when mine take on a torpedo shape - a slight stomach bulge. I've
seen some thin SAE's in my travels around LFSs and in fact, my 4 were almost
anorexic when I bought them. Different story now - they discovered the algae
disks this morning and pigged out - a lesson there - half a tab for all 4,
so they graze on what they are supposed to later in the day - algae
