Looks normal to me. They get a lil scratched up a little sometimes from scratching against on tank or decor.
 
Looks like a little redness in the anus area and where the ventral fin connects to the underside.I'm not sure what it could be though.
 
Good to see......and good to know there are ST dats in my area.

Did you net the fish recently? The anal fin spike is showing a bit of lost of skin tissue.

What did you feed it?

Could be parasite infection, internal blockage, or the infamous datnoid disease (usually red pimple, or bump)
 
It's a bacterial infection... Salt/ clean water/ melafix will heal it. I had a ST with the samething and that's what I did to heal it up.
