So I was just taking a picture of one of my Electric Blue Acara and I have noticed this before but I wanted to check it's normal.
Both my Acara have like a swollen vent/anus both are feeding just fine and moving around happily and none of my other fish are showing this on thier bodies. Is this just a case of that's how they look as I have seen somewhere about them being breeding tubes.
Thank you in advance.

Water parameters are as they should be and I feed pellet some shouldn't be any parasites from live feeding
