That looks like a prolapsed anus........Not a good thing, It may retract but I don't think there's a thing that you can do for it

I agree with Graham, sorry. About the only thing that can be done is to add some acriflavine to the water, 1 drop a gallon, just to try and keep any infection from the prolapse away.

So.. does this mean death?

Paul, if it is not curable, maybe its best to euthinize. OH NO.....

Give the fish a chance to heal itself and it may ...good water and hopefully it won't get infected on the outside

I'd leave it where it is and add acriflavine to that tank. The acriflavine is optional, pristine water conditions is whats really needed. Feed the tank lightly, but wait a day first.

Since this is something that has just happened I wouldn't do a thing at the moment. If 24 hurs from now it's still out then QT and the Acr
