You have managed to fill up the gap between stomach and tail nicely.
By the way, how do you fill up the stomach area without making the fish fat?
Is it via types of food or size of the tub?

Hi Ryan,
Good to see you again!
the fish diet is 95% Bloodworm and balance 5% = Pallet + Algae.
In my opinion, the fish structure is pretty much the same; and we can't change it. What I did was changing its' balance of proportion. Therefore, it is a visual illusion that the gap became smaller.
Give them enough exercise will muscle them up a little but too much will weaken the tail. They are now in my old 4'x5' FRB tub (10 of them). So, every water change, I'll leave around only 20-25% of the space with carpet algae. Cos I need to attract them to stay at one spot more and reduce their swimming distance. Also, I put a 18" basin on top of the "net cover" near the algae patch, a small shady area for them too.
Hope it helps.
Cheers
