Woke up this morning to find what looks like a oversized blood blister on my glencoe tandan where it looks like his poo hole should be. Sorry about pic quality only had camera phone and the bugger doesn't sit still. Also not the easiest fish to catch for a photo shoot.

Prolapsed rectum is what it looks like to me, comes from contipation usually, mainly due to not enough of the proper foods, in this case things like eartworms. Try gently using a GLOVED finger tip to press the eversion back through the vent, it works more often then not when the prolapse is as minor as this one is.
 
Once again thanks. When I had arrived home he had already managed to fix it on his own. I feed the fish floating pellets, sinking pellets, flake food and bloodworms on a daily basis. May have some trouble finding earthworms in my area, but will try and dig some up when I go to my parents house.
