You have a tank large enough to accommodate tangs and also the number you have. They are getting lots of exercise.
From the photos your tangs look healthy. Nice and plump just like in the wild.
IME you are not overfeeding them.
Congratulations!

I was hoping you would "weigh in" with a pic.

I still think he's the roundest fish ever, but in a nice and healthy sort of way.

DJ drew your tangs look healthy to me.
