Nah all tank mates accounted for

Seriously though, is he just fat or what ?

Many Doradiidae appear to be like that. It is most usually just too much food. It is not clear whether this is inconsequential to their health. See, e.g, this for more on a related case: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?562572-fat-cat&highlight=pterodoras

any irwini ive ever seen or owned will eat to the max like this...alike with o. niger or granulous...lay off the pellets for a few days to a week and itell go down. I dont think its harmful unless u pack him full like this 24/7 and it possibly leads to bloat. Perfectly normal tho, my 20" irwini looks like this after a feeding and takes a week or two to digest.

Any doradids ive owned have rounded bellies always even when the tank isnt fed often. They must eat pretty indescrimenantly at night. Maybe even other fish' excrement? Noticed mine stay rounded way longer than other catfish even when not being fed
