If in fact it is a prolapsed intestine I would get the ray veterinary attention asap. They may be able to sedate it and put it back in. Assuming it's Rectal prolapse or a p.i. in the first place.

Thank you all for your fast replies.
We have no available vet here in our place. I've been feeding silver sides and I think its not the food because I have a few rays in the community for so long now and have been feeding the same food. It is normal when I bought it, it arrived in condition and eats well.
I guess I will just stop feeding him for a while and hope that it heals.

Hello everyone,
Thanks for all the responses. My leopoldi is now back to normal. Just want to share what I did. Transferred to a 50gal hospital tank with lots of aeration, put Furazan Gold, half dose only for 1 week. 25% water change daily. Feed him 1 shrimp without shells 1" size, 3x a day. Which means, very little feeding until the bulging anus disappears. After it disappeared, I gradually increase the feeding. He is now feeding normally ang hoping that he is 100% okay.
