I was given a tank and it had a few fish in it, i've sold some on but decided to keep a couple of large male Convicts, I thought one of them had worms as it had red/pink stuff coming from its anus but now i'm not so sure, it looks more like a solid mass than single worms bunched together.. Tried treating with Kusuri wormer, added a second dose today (4 days later) and it hasn't changed any.

Impossible to say by those photos.

My advice would be to try adding epsom salts to the fishes food, and to the tank water. That should help alleviate tissue swelling if its a prolapse. With any luck it will get reabsorbed.
